Here, when in early Spring with apple green of life recalled and budding in the trees, I’m gathering the sacred woods for drawing down the living fire, when soon the moon will be too bright for sleeping I’m no longer fingering the threads of time weaving spells of measure bringing fevered legs that heat too easily bearing throbbing charms to spread before the fire, I find instead myself lingering in the peace my gardens’ pathways bring despite the harsh remembering, for me, outside this fortress’ door any warmth of sunshine’s sting is fatal over time. I am a nighttime creature blest with having lived life at its best gifted with the memories of all the lessons, tests and trials, a bequest inherited for myself from almost countless lives I’ve lived before. When I was young I thought this knowing should be shared, but with age, finding no one really cared beyond the gasp and sigh the moment brings when soaring high the maiden sings grasping yet to breathe the air of freedom waiting there outside each garden door, I learned it’s best to hide the meanings in the lines, words clinging to themselves like straw caught in the tines of the idle fork propped by the fence post in the corner over there. ©2006 by icebox . |

Care to dance, m'lord? smiling wide but with my teeth carefully hidden. I, too, am learning to keep my mouth shut. (Though I understand that old habit does indeed die hard.  ) gawd I love ya, C. Blessed Be, sweetie.  Amazing, you. |

"I learned it’s best to hide the meanings in the lines, words clinging to themselves like straw caught in the tines of the idle fork propped by the fence post in the corner over there." But......there are some who would pick up the fork and shake off the staw....and find it actually contains some golden threads intermingled.....*smiles*.....jo |

"I learned it’s best to hide the meanings in the lines" Even hidden in the lines the meanings are so evident and so well written icebox. I thank you for this write. |
