Music from the First of Summer The grasses move like feathers in the breezes through the canyon and the fog in soft of cover brings the ocean’s fragrant sand in And the sleepy peace of dawning with only sheets for cover softly feather heads on pillows touch an eyelash still a dreaming And the buds of petals sing now with a buzz of frantic movement giving purpose to the beauty that has filled the air with fragrance And I want to dance on green grass in a dress of yellow daisies lay me down within the arbor listening as the fruit is ripened But I feel the clock is ticking in the shadows past the hedges caught within the dirt and drainage of the folding fallen wildflowers So I hold on to the questions and I wait for the horizon to reply with mauve of sunset warm with dark and heavy breathing And I know the perfect feeling is in holding on one minute to a look that’s filled with loving falling into drape of silken For the hum in dark of midnight under canopy of stardom singing soft the mad of midday with a sigh within a love song is the music from the first of coming home ------ with thanks for the rhythm to Suzanne, Leonard Cohen....a RP just because |

Martie.. Two of my favourite stanzas-- "And I want to dance on green grass in a dress of yellow daisies lay me down within the arbor listening as the fruit is ripened" ....and... "And I know the perfect feeling is in holding on one minute to a look that’s filled with loving falling into drape of silken" Beautifully written sweet friend.. Then at the end..I saw your footnote went back to the beginning and sang it through to the tune of Suzanne.. and it fit perfectly! YOU are an amazing writer.. and when I grow up I want to be able to write like you.  ~Special Lavender Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Reading your poetry is like walking through a forest for me. There is so much rich beauty and brilliance that I want to stop and wring out every last drop from every tiny spot, afraid to miss the weeniest bit. This was Martie-great! Thank you so much for sharing your gift. - Owl |
