Camellia in bloom after snow  ~~~  every day is a different season peppered with high winds

snow again yesterday  now back to 70's  ~~~

delicate red ruffles on a stick ~~~

this was the scene here in the valley on Sunday  this shot is from my deck about nightfall

tomorrow it will be 70 & some will still be without electricity  ...  beautiful  & magical while it lasted & a good watering for the flowers  already in bloom ~~~

let not

for cause

of fearing

permit

the flying fish

to meet

 with

untimely demise

mired

in waters

far too shallow       amen

1/30/2012

dive into me

with tender teeth

be reckless 

with hungry touch

pry into my soul

dissect my flesh

 with a jeweler's

 fine tool 

rip me apart

at the seams

of my being

with the magnanimity

of your love 

 dress me up

 in lace petals 

& feathers 

  put rainbows in my hair 

 dress me down to 

 nothingness

                        afterward 

with one word

from the lips of heaven 

keep me safe

under

        the girth 

 of your steel wing 

i will kiss it clean 

of stain     again 

  recite to me 

ancient verses

of unrelenting tenderness 

as you fly me 

fly me

 fly me

                     drive me wildy

                     back to paradise
