Body Acoustic

Tribute to Pharoah Sanders... Rip mayhem- Shrieking birds, waves of soft Pink chattering, disorienting love Amidst people tumbling pro/con Debating issues death life violence Sweet clinging rain-soaked bodies Intertwined in deep earth chords Hate cannot break Vibrating my soul, cleaning my brain Thank you, Thembi! Your message pure, like hidden springs I Visit in Northern Minnesota Forests- Unspoiled Everlasting Hope Renewed 7/16/16

The recent political contentions and hatred took a toll on me, too. Poetry became my only peace of heart. I love this poem. (...and hidden springs. It must be beautiful there. I visited briefly once as a young adult. It was the first time I saw a deer in the snow...beautiful!)

Enjoyed reading your work..It seemed it was about the candidates running for office then a wonderful peaceful setting..Great work..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara..Good to hear that you collect vintage bowls..It is shear fate or luck that any are still around..I have two coming but won't know if they fit my mixer until they get here..The bottom has to fit a small part that turns the bowl..

Nature can do that & I do believe it is likely to be there in glory long after we are extinct! Light & love
