He will ride on cape that twists the road away from the sulk of afternoon into the steady healing flow of river’s turn a fish a day to earn and slippery to pull from mouth the hook of bravery hunger will release the fill then drown in water anyway up hill I am falling up to land within his net the sky is scattered dun of blue my whim is to fly of course but wings forget wings where have you gone to reed and river’s force the tide of air has made a road in sky to ride the cattails grim turn aside their load and I look for the smudge of some creek be gone now loaded with the heavy weight of it I sink not fly Shake your pretty head release the dead walk the rocky hill across the nape of twilight she tells me from the other side coming now to fish the outcrop of rock for gold a child will see a reflection crosses the deep and sways this rhythm of water’s keep to love like jumping rocks is not forgotten the bounty of a sweet clasped foot naked cannot slip within the torrent past for the trickle of a summer shower still remains singing the quiet hours of day away --------- In loving memory of Michelle |

Shake your pretty head release the dead walk the rocky hill across the nape of twilight she tells me from the other side ~*~ She's smiling... she's shaking her head... and smiling at her glorious flower mother... and you? You are gathering her seeds of thought. For she continues to grow your garden, sissie.  |

a child will see a reflection crosses the deep and sways this rhythm of water’s keep to love like jumping rocks is not forgotten the bounty of a sweet clasped foot naked cannot slip within the torrent past for the trickle of a summer shower still remains singing the quiet hours of day away Beautiful Martie. hugs, Chris |

Martie - This is such a beautiful write that surely it has wings to cross the divide as it crosses the oceans. Sometimes I shake my head at the sheer injustice of life. Take care dear Martie. |

"Shake your pretty head release the dead walk the rocky hill across the nape of twilight she tells me from the other side " Somehow I don't think you'll really have to do this....at least I hope you don't. There are sometimes whole days we wish se could erase from time....and if we're less than lucky maybe an entire season....I know I have such things. There are also times that sense would say "erase" but that are so full of meaning we could never bring ourselves to really do it, even if we had the chance. But remember, there are also those days and times we would shelter if it meant all else was taken away....so the scale comes to a sort of balance even if it's never really level. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

"my whim is to fly of course but wings forget " True...but forgetting is not forever, it just feels that way until the waiting is done. *hug* |

Shake your pretty head release the dead walk the rocky hill across the nape of twilight she tells me from the other side coming now to fish the outcrop of rock for gold a child will see a reflection crosses the deep and sways this rhythm of water’s keep to love like jumping rocks is not forgotten the bounty of a sweet clasped foot naked cannot slip within the torrent past for the trickle of a summer shower still remains singing the quiet hours of day away ************************************** I'm shain my head, Martie, your amazing! This comes from an awesome part of your heart. Thank you for sharing. |
