. It was the warmth The light weight of it How the sun Rose over its borders And began the day It was the thing I came to see At the center of being The way Even the dark hours themselves distilled After it to memories more than dreams It was how when it was the only thing In the room it seemed enough The matter of matter it moved To define the point of feel As no words that were ever said It bred the moments of consequence The lengths depths and breaths of it Filled the world Autumn leaves The first snows The blank of it The absolute Vacant not of it More Than any bottle In the middle of Tennessee It will be What I miss most . |

John~ 'It was how when it was the only thing In the room it seemed enough' There is ALWAYS a thought that lingers after a read of you ... this is mine, this time~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

"The lengths depths and breaths of it Filled the world", I really like that 'breaths' . Nicely done. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

. Thank you all For the longest time I was unable to access this site because of “technical difficulties”. Now returned, I have submitted something I am thinking of using as an introduction to a poetry society I belong to. I feel your responses have chosen in its favor. Thanks again. John PS Martie, oddly this came to me out of remembering two scenes in unison; sunlight coming through a bay window into a living room in Narragansett, Rhode Island and that sunlight into the dining area of an apartment in Waukegan, Illinois. Don’t ask me what it means; I’m not there now. . |
