Counting On You

When ever the time comes I guess it should mean a certain freedom; the kind we get from writing a poem, the kind that flows from the instrument instrumental peace, whatever it may be It could be the winds that stirs the sea maybe the sun that shines on you and me. We hope to see each other there blowing along the lines of the marble with eyes like the owl; seeing in the dark To release some kind of light. I'm talking about poetry and all it's unique forms and how it balanced some piece of mind, brought the morning and all its warmth Before a rugged door. .

derrick, you have a marvelous way with imagery. I am so happy to have read this today! I am wondering if maybe you mixed up the piece/peace words. did you mean the standard meaning of "peace of mind" like a calmness in one's mind? It could be you meant a fragment of one's mind too, so it could actually work both ways with that one! thanks for commenting on my poem, I hope to read many more of your poems.LUv, andrea
