December Song measured and graceful save this December song simply a miracle thrilling…ornately powerful eloquent lamp oil hued gold things of color picture framed around our window of time rings of dreams solidify you’ve cleansed wounds erased shadows of passing clouds some permissible alteration uninterrupted sounds of a violin elements shaping begin something I’ve never known yet, sensed was carved deep into stone tracing the corner of your mouth gives one instance worth a lifetime romping uphill toward green dipping pastures yet ascending to kindle a fire of sea green wood as recomposes & memento backdrops nature’s divination touching every rib of man feathers of swallows float to an evolving grace soaring swooping like commingled mindedness rushing to an unplanned stream as if a pattern told something worth knowing something utterly worth singing to the soul of wind can you hear their voices? and there, out of the fog I see you so unafraid so adamant walking toward these little notes in this little room [This message has been edited by LeeJ (12-22-2006 03:56 AM).] |

Lee, Happy Birthday too! Shouldn't you have the day off? Oh, that's right, writing isn't work. Enjoyed the read. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

I do love your December Song. And once again, as you know how, you’ve managed to melt my heart. _______________________________ My Heart Unseen My heart, as a metronome, hidden, in a cardboard box. Its clicking pendulum rhythm pacing time’s clock. Unable to censor a last click, or to suspend the next tock… Listening to the rhythm hidden in a cardboard box… Clicking: Tick-tock Tick-tock… My heart unseen: A metronome in a cardboard box… ______________________________ Happy Birthday!! JL Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

It's been a while since I've visited this site; and I'm truly glad that I did! That was surpassingly beautiful, really elegant. It had a gorgeous kind of stream-of-consciousness feel to it, the words seemed to just slip by. Excellent job. |

and there, out of the fog I see you so unafraid so adamant walking toward these little notes in this little room I am constantly astounded by your work to say it's good would be preposterous and feeble... Happy Birthday late... |

rushing to an unplanned stream as if a pattern told something worth knowing something utterly worth singing to the soul of wind can you hear their voices? ~AHO~ LeeJ it is the only song worth singing that of the very soul,and the Four Winds carry those whispers for all time! Emenv!

Lee, What a beautiful December song. After I read it once, I was compelled to re-read this passage several times again. I'm taken by the seemingly effortless flow of rhythm, image, and phonemes. Very pretty, Lee. Thanks for sharing your talent. ~miscellanea "you’ve cleansed wounds erased shadows of passing clouds some permissible alteration uninterrupted sounds of a violin" |
