Assuredly I

A shadow     yet not
lit from without
a canopy upon a screen
answers to the knock of light

and eye    or even I    open the door
for grace of breeze to make dancers
out of just plain leaves

Lit from within
I see the frame of face
turning turning twirl
some music discovers my name

It carries pulse
explodes the quiet
opens the joy of hair to shine
hears the tender and the curse
the fabric of this screen
cannot be destroyed

It bears words   oh words
the lovely sound of light and dark
they take the intent and make it tears
they try out loud a laugh

and they can break on the altar
scatter sharp or defuse the passion
and the skin in magic
just sings along knowing not
but loving just the same
the heat that words can thus ordain

Loose they follow any whim
move up the curves without or within
and a face so dimpled by a voice
charms interpretations choice
and eye   assuredly  I   open the door

I wondered if you see what I see in that shadow Martie? Beautiful poem but very interesting shadow that one.

I love a poem that grows in the writing, and becomes more than the poet ever intended at the start....and this feels like such a poem.

Well done, dear lady, well done.

What a wonderful write, Martie. You are most decidedly a gifted poet and the lady in shadow is most assuredly the angel in you.

Two steps beyond infinate wonder, that is where your words take the reader. There is never a point of stress, where should the scenerio go. Just an assured flow of astounding visual.

Martie,

The driving images of shadow and light, I have burned in my memory, and have been striving to describe how meaningful they are to me, especially since I've been trying to become somewhat skilled in art. Matter-of-fact, I coined a line this morning about that very thing, but have yet not drilled the hole from which the poem will emerge.

It was just a itsy part of nature that I'm figuring out. The depth of YOUR insight, just amazes me!

Always good to read your poetry! OH yes, I loved your subtle play on words...
