New day



















the light falls just so
gold on black ice

time does not stop
neither does love

i wish it didn't, but i fear it does.

i can feel my emotions sticking to the iced twigs and the frosted, curled leaf. as cold as dead love.

I didn't mean specific loves, Charlie.

Beautiful photo. I was just thinking about time the other day, wondering about light and how far it travels and how it arrives here, now. Maybe love is like that light.

Trinitystar, a glimpse, a glance, that's all that is sometimes needed.

Pauline, they are woven together!

Polona, thank you. Yes, the luminescence and details pop out in the enlarged photo.

Alan, and certainly across my lifetime!

Robin Andrea, I've wondered the same thing! Love is a mysterious force.

Charlie, was that a sigh of relief I just heard?

Corey, I believe we are.

Ah, but time DOES stop when reading your crystalline poem--and love is beyond time...

I'm not sure why I love your simple poems the best. Maybe it is because there is so much to learn from so little.

Firebird, many days I don't know what time is!

Mermaid, I can appreciate that. Sometimes simplest touches on the essence.

Zhoen, thank you.

Pat, a metaphor with many applications, definitely the one you mention. Thanks!

Swampgrrl, welcome! Thanks, I'm glad you found something of interest here. I'll come check out your blog soon.

Gautami, thank you very much.

Charlie, it's all pretty simple in the end.

Professor Zero, welcome! Thanks for stopping by.

Just the wind whispering through the trees, that's all.

btw, mb, how do i find your band's music?

Blogger MB said...

Charlie, the wind whispers many things.

You can find it through iTunes, through the band website, on myspace... take your pick... I think this post should answer your question in any form you need. If not, let me know and I shall do my best to oblige. Thanks for asking.

Thank you. Yes, it does, a bit like the grass :o)

I have emailed The Heard for CD purchasing info.

Incidentally, my mother's name was Mary Whittaker (2 Ts). It's a nice name. She could sing too.

Charlie, yes much like the grass! I will alert the authorities to look for your email. My antecedents of course trace back to your part of the world, a few hundred years ago.

Floots, thank you very much!

Ahhhhhhhh.

It's uncharacteristically low-cloud cold and rainy here, and this gave me a nice respite.

are we distantly related?? hmmmmmm... tra la la :o)

Whitaker (one or two Ts), as you probably know, is a corruption of Whiteacre. There are two such villages I know about over here. One is in Yorkshire and on is in Lancashire. My mother was a Lancastrian.

Lori, me too. Respite is what it was.

Jean, on ne sait jamais ou on peut trouver un peu d'or!

Charlie, I *think* it may have been Nottingham, but I couldn't swear to that.

Leslee, thanks.
