In the Place Where a Dark Temple Grew Leap to it and bounce the tree is measuring the rain each shake of leaf a thousand blessings they fall music to my heated listening The window is open to my heart cushioned within this comfort I want to walk out into it with my quiet and stop the blade of grass for just a minute stop it from its bejeweled contemplation of day then take its meaning folded and perfect and speak of secrets And for what give up the right to feel the great mountain? The sifting of the dirt is within me and I feel the chasm in my head the place where a dark temple grew is now empty the mountain quakes within its solitude and brings into being a kind of joy that I didn't have before that I thought I lost oh glory....it is found |

You sparkle again.....and that is so very good to see! My second-biggest worry for you just got smoked....the first biggest already did, when you came through the surgery and woke to the world again. That you are coming back in poetry now, oh it is such a fine thing........ ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Have to agree with Ed..it is joyous to see you posting again..and with a new found freedom..or at least it feels that way..you are emancipated from the dark temple holding you captive...walk into the light..feel the sunshine on your face..and every nuance of nature..every pastel shade of wild flowers and fill your soul...just remember to write about it..so we can enjoy it..even if it is just a glimpse...thank you...

Sis~ This ... this is true Martiesque~  'I want to walk out into it with my quiet and stop the blade of grass for just a minute stop it from its bejeweled contemplation of day then take its meaning folded and perfect and speak of secrets' Oh yes ... bejeweled contemplation of the poetic day ... this is a day of rejoicing~ And so I do~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I've said it before, I'll say it again - it is so beautiful to see the world through Martie eyes  This is a keeper~Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

the mountain quakes within its solitude and brings into being a kind of joy that I didn't have before that I thought I lost oh glory....it is found ~*~ Such a special poem, little one... when our passion is returned to us, in most unexpected ways... now is the time to indulge, and as all becomes better through healing and more... it will soon be time to heed those who knew, who said, yes, this! is one of those to place between the leaves of the yet-to-be. |

Martie, I walked through every word of this exquisite poem with you and feel with you how you came through the fire burnished even brighter than before! I am so sorry for your pain, but so very glad for your gain. How we are all celebrating having you back again, as good and better than before! - Owl |
