[hometext] => Welcome to the halls of this mindspace. The gift of your audience is a personal treasure. Loitering is welcomed.
[bodytext] =>
Due diligence
to the death.
Precision ring,
marries doubt,
after the rounds,
cradles with
numerous points of light.
Free to roam,
the tax and weight
of sun,
a delicate pressure felt
intensely upon the face,
one can hardly move or
raise their head,
lids flutter to lift,
as skin is stretched
warmed, changed.
Calm sight is bundled
merges with silence,
not darkness dying
but peace & quiet
like an old couple
who live upstairs
woolen footsteps listen,
charms of making,
to honey drip, down,
upon the licks of
order and chaos.
We are Nature made,
to stop, look around
and wonder.
Wander not so quick,
rather inhabit the cloak
of consciousness,
as a bright color or
scent of a flower.
If anything we take and
perhaps why little
contact is made,
an afterlife of grace
is gift to those
who strive to continue.
To balance the waters,
of secret hopes,
against the river-
lever that there is
more to being
than this.
Material things become
puppet strings on
ego limbs,
marionette energetic,
in dream swells
the tool for
wishes to grow,
some being,
others made real.
Does it make you holy,
green, priestly,
fast packed a peck
of peppered sunshine
with a label warning:
apply to feel your feet
or divine,
perceptions polish lens,
focused to muster
the power of Now,
in a knowing smile.

Once I've decided to comment on a write, I usually take the time to ponder & give it a second read before formulating my response, but there was something about this one that charged me w/, "NOW!"...
I Love This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Words...The Pictures...The Intro...
Be assured you'll hear more from me on this, but for, 'NOW', might I just say, "WOW!" & I'm off to read again...up, up & away...
Always w/ great love & admiration,
~your moonmaiden |

Oh, yes. I do love this.
Such a calm title for such a vibrant masterpiece. Incredible colors... not only in the pictures that you posted, but the ones that you made with your own hands... Gorgeous imagery, gorgeous metaphors. Just... gorgeous. I wish I could write more... but honestly... I'm surprised I've gotten this far. I'm literally pulling teeth trying to find words to precisely describe this.... However, I guess that's what a magnificent poem does. Wrench the rug from beneath your feet, and leave you with nothing but your worthless attempts to sound moderately coherent. Delicious. Poignant. And every other superlative word in the history of the English language. All my love and admiration goes out to you, friend. You will be seeing more of me, :). *hugs* Thank you for your splendid comment. All my love.
Always,
~Stephy. ((Fleur)) |

GOOD GRIEF!!!
I know not what to add to the already amazing comments,
(and justly so) that lay beneath this most striking piece of brilliance!!
I was captivated and drawn to your piece by the author's note.
I found it most interesting and completely delightful. I intend
to accept your kind welcome .. and loiter for a long while ~
I really need to read this again (and again and again), to get
the full impact of it, but my first impression is that you have quite
the intellect, my friend. And an extremely artistic way of
expressing said intelligence. Never stop sharing this.
It's beautiful ~
~Breezy

YESSS!!! I feel it, suggests to me, many things, slow, like a bitter sweet melody! ;]
"Material things become
puppet strings on
ego limbs,"
Don't we know it? I'm sure it's there for everyone to see, if they just take a lil bit of a deeper look. Like the iceberg, I have yet to meet someone without unknown depths.

| taking all that read into the depths of their own minds with colour and words and wise guidance...I prefer to suckle a butterscotch and ponder awhile....and I will think, think, and then probably think some more.Then I will call you genius and smile....as that is all I can do about this lovely piece. Thank you |
