Avalanche

It takes everything

Strata from skin stripped to the emptiness of words

All time in station's disregard

Your hands as you calculate the pose

Exposing shells compelled with galaxy

The taste she emancipates in sunlight

A century where she has gone

An avalanche 

When in soft melt her strands catch moistly minutia of breeze

And your heart locks with her smile 

Surfaces and quakes

It is not enough to be fed by this

To be staggered in slow swayed constancy

The river knows no ocean without

And all creatures within

Vast as patiently reach out to warm her

Bathed in the rise and rays

Of her eastern light

Read this twice, First off 'saw it as a magnificent woman - and loved at every level, constant and moving.

Read it again and aloud, the vision altered. This could be, is, life and all its contents,a world that makes one jump into space and want to linger.. and more?! Perhaps.

Whichever it is, it's beautiful, it flows like that avalanche, uncovering what lies deep beneath what is there to be seen yet remains a secret.. ..

Isn't she lovely........(who needs 25 characters)

Agreed...:)

From first line to last this is so eloquently expressed.

Often, we forget how fortunate we are to inhabit such a beautiful planet; that we have been gifted the ability, if we so choose, to live and love as one with nature.

Just a lovely, lovely poem.
