I read somewhere about simply placing thoughts, feelings down on paper, as if it were a bad thing...I think not...and that's what I do It is the Shamen of travel...the mind is, what it eats... And so the ambient of mind and spirit Human spa moods Slant of illumination sequence In mind…. Swirling flesh Red lipped hours Embrace white passages In cool trickle of self made meadows Sallow bended knees Identify technique Fortune-teller of opened doors Powers clairvoyant gaze Mastery of virtuoso Dew drop mind, sealed Still with me here Implicit content Solemnity of mystic Peering One’s nature Immensity of origin…compass I am afternoon’s of winter The luster of warmth Vigorous cathedral tunes Images of quietude Holding my breath For the final image Reflecting in landscapes listening Oh, poignancy handles sight Childlike expression Embracing the whole of body Sweet the words of earth And sea Sea of multi-faced identity Perennial linger Sun mug of uncertain happiness Tutorial of foliage knows Those who dream I am mortality I am one with desire Oh perfect sky Endless moments Strewn the imagination of art Ritual charm I am the dead plant which rots Ever stronger waters Certainty is the speaker’s motivation Body of will Semblance of phenomenon Ironically, yet to fill Drawing close my coat of thought Where cheers pleasure spirits Crowned vine of store Where songs of summer Become companionship for winter poems |

In cool trickle of self made meadows loved this line and your last two... Where songs of summer Become companionship for winter poems always a pleasure to digest your thoughts   M |

Lee, all you need now is some fancy make up and a cloak, crystal ball and one slightly worn Ouija Board, with a sign on the board stating "For Hire"... Whatcha think? |

A much longer reply is warrented, but time does not allow, being not generous this morning...but I will point to a few words that I believe make this a very strong poem.. "I am the dead plant which rots Ever stronger waters Certainty is the speaker’s motivation Body of will Semblance of phenomenon..." It is the assembly of phenomenon, of words into images, that makes this poem a very good read. Thank you for them, LeeJ -------------ice ><> |

Lovely Lee ~ I would like to echo T.D.'s reply, "When the heart is open, the flow is just exceptional...nothing less, this perfect waterfall you pen." And the closing 2 lines were most assuredly written by a poet! May your day be filled with wonder that will add to your ink of well!  Love & Shaman Light, Linda |

Lee~ I read ... and the word-gifting begins to swell in my mind ... filling me with magnificent points to ponder~ 'I am afternoon’s of winter The luster of warmth Vigorous cathedral tunes Images of quietude Holding my breath For the final image Reflecting in landscapes listening Oh, poignancy handles sight Childlike expression Embracing the whole of body'  Love the ALL OF IT~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*No matter what I search for ... |

"Sweet the words of earth And sea Sea of multi-faced identity Perennial linger Sun mug of uncertain happiness Tutorial of foliage knows Those who dream I am mortality I am one with desire Oh perfect sky" Perfect words. Beautiful Lee J.   JL  |

"Drawing close my coat of thought Where cheers pleasure spirits Crowned vine of store Where songs of summer Become companionship for winter poems" I love all of this piece Lee... but, the above lines especially stuck a chord. Wonderful write. Hugs~Nancy Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind |
