Visionary Once, when light was stark As snow, flakes of myself fell Into the dark Blown in shapeless cold And silently, silently hardened into inexplicable will My pulseless soul inside the Drifts...made numb I heard in time Set fire to the underbrush By meters climb A voice ignited flames Intensity and purpose And then, then As if to touch me His heart beat upon the page Forming me like warm wax within his hands Stark-light snow flakes of self falling in darkness silently, silently… cold-hardened Inexplicable will! My pulseless soul drifting numb… Until I heard his heart….. beating on the page in meters climbing voice-ignited flames firing time’s underbrush with intensity’s purpose my soul reformed…. Warm wax in poet-hands! Shaping me... Copyright Kkh & BAjr 11/13/06 With many thanks to Secondhanddreampoet, a most inspiring gentleman |

Actually as a most fine 'free association' poet of light [child or Aurora's sunrise] T.D. diserves all the credit here!...for the splendid image and message content!... I, of course, only applied the wordsmith-minimalist (word-economy) 'chisel'! so very, very many of you grand talents in this lovely 'Passions' circle of friends are the 'real' poets!...not I ! |

Thank you! [to 'sing' in grand harmony is generally finer]! |
