I fell into the rhythm of this, feeling the pull of the scarlet ribbons wrapping around me. Seductive and irresistible, I couldn't stop reading. My breath changed with the cadence of it all. Truly beautiful writing, sister-mine! I was there, walking with you in the maelstrom of thoughts.<br /><br />With love,<br /><br />DawnieHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-75353749983732933152012-02-04T07:54:35.249-08:002012-02-04T07:54:35.249-08:00Tameka, as you know we write as we walk.

I'm so glad you penned this. I can feel that you were writing outside and as the feelings were taking you over. Fireworks come in so many colors that we have to capture and share them immediately before the show is over. I see you dear Leah. :-) <br /><br />Lyric Fire: Lace-Fronts and Hymn Books: A Poem About Self-Anointed Truth Talkers http://bit.ly/yIRswQTamekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022350498501742442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-79076033519470943992012-02-02T14:06:58.178-08:002012-02-02T14:06:58.178-08:00Jayne, will you be frequenting any poetry workshop...Jayne, will you be frequenting any poetry workshops this year? <br />I'd like to imagine being there with you, penning whispers and unctions, and perhaps eating a cream puff or two;)Leah Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424758000036417506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-54374224146549540452012-02-02T11:35:22.283-08:002012-02-02T11:35:22.283-08:00"Thoughts steer the river’s currents, undeter..."Thoughts steer the river’s currents, undetermined, for thoughts have hearts, and hearts do fret, and legs run blindly, beset by hearts that jump into rivers and drown."<br /><br />Wow, Leah, so poetic.
