We were giving a Get Listed poem. A list of words to inspire a poem. Kim over at Poets United asked us to write a Close to the Source Poem. My poem kinda describes my mood lately as I am working on many art projects. I will post some of my projects, soon.

BLUE HIGHWAY
Blue highway
perches in soul's roots
shakes doubt's
weeds before
curious fury
grows rampant
unearthing grits
pace
transplant seeds of tender stars
before glaciers
grow winter trees
in heart's library
and tangle
in hand knit gray wool
gulls see
the stony sky
and salt of
day disappear
slice blue
factor's ridges
shake frigid
ice storm and
see seedlings open
in chipped yellow china, green velvet sofa
and heirloom
oak desk
focus on faded sepia memories
to propel air-borne white galaxies.

There was something so placid and peaceful about your poem. The sky felt like the blue highway, and all else so beautiful:)
