With race of blood and bleed of spin
I am a craver and a carver of earth
Words, flying like spun-top
from me, feather to you, my friend
A lift of eye and heart and hand
to your fine quill, flowing river poems
back
to me
and so we share
this soulful sweetest breath of vision
We pant, in buckskin phrases,
of ecstasy and wings to rise
heart by heart, winged thoughts to share
No Icarus-escape, my friend, no, for
foot to earth and brace of back
is all we need of being held
to rise on wordy winds that blow
here in poets' sacred ground.

I watch you both with a muteness born of wonder in the face of such beautiful poetry strewn upon these pages in the spirit of Indian paintbrush, but my mind is not silent, nor my heart...just my tongue.

A dance of Soul on Kaibab's page,

You are quite a dancer, M'Lady!
This Poem puts you right up their{where you already was, in my opinion} with the top Echelon of AP. Really! You danced so eloquently with the one and only Kaibab... that is quite a feat! Your words dance in beauty and gracefullness. You swirl around alliteration & imaginings like the reknowned gentleman you are dancing with. Such beauty moves my soul...

I'm in awe, Scribe!

She is river's thirst
in feathered bank,
her artery to flow so far in seeking,
what was once
and lives in always,
sky and earthen love
in making.
Crave this call,
and hear her whisper,
when flight is night
and ever sending
moon to move
in sun's reflection,
sweet, eastern rise
of new direction.
And give her thanks,
her native spirit,
braver sky,
when souls do fly in affirmation,
of song's poetic celebration.
Thank you much poetic sister...

Sighhh...Two of my most favorite human beings ever on the same page...I can die happy now. Wanda
