Just a Notch Over The sky has turned thick and ominous with blackbirds She hears the calling of the crows as a portent of change Are the clouds holding the sky captive? Let go of summer evening’s ache of last twilight and close the door on sweet and long dusk now is the month of falling fallow and it rustles with giving and taking so say the dancing leaves Heart to the keyboard she plays the clouds and crows a riot of life where fingers are birds themselves and feel the sun slant in the window to touch the shoulder variegated and dappled How hold on to the light when the sky is dark? A strong thing a love song fed with sweet small things change comes quietly just a notch over where truth has always been She will roll up her jeans admitting at last that it's ok to be as tall as she really is |

Let go of summer evening’s ache of last twilight and close the door on sweet and long dusk now is the month of falling fallow and it rustles with giving and taking so say the dancing leaves ~*~ So, say, indeed... and when the rains reign homefires bring us back to our heart...  " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

How hold on to the light when the sky is dark? A strong thing a love song fed with sweet small things change comes quietly just a notch over where truth has always been Loved this part best Martie... how hold onto the light, indeed lady... I think sometimes, we just do it the best that we can. Hugs you.... |

Martie, I love this one. And the first six lines could be a poem all on their own, but I'm glad you didn't stop there. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Remember, dear lady...."fallow" is a word like "weed" or "old"....it's all in how you look at things. Got me thinking again, darn ya! Worse, you made it feel good.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
