Kate -
marvelous poetic work here . . . you have and will always be an exceptional poet . . .!!
Very intriguing, mysterious, thought provoking... I really like "the clatter of idea".
So much is unspoken and so much of our world is left unsaid. But somehow I believe that all can be done through words, those that sound true, those that are true to the heart and mind.
Yes, I am an idealist and I love it! ;)

You say so much in so little space, and have my undying admiration for that.

This is a profound write, kinda' similiar to what I just wrote in a different context.
Love this, a treasure I will savor! I love the unique flavor!
Your verses are truly inspiring, Kate; and they compel me to read them over and over again. You have created some fine images as well which serve to emphasize your theme. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and best wishes,
Kate, don't we feel so unworthy when we seek to speak with God...but HE hears and offers us comfort eventhough we are sometimes left in awe. This is an exceptional inspirational write. I loved it!

Was tempting to leave a blank review, but you prolly guessed that...
Hoowever, or even however. I see this from te paradigm, that when we are closest to God, no words suffice, just being in His presence is all.... Once again you write of the apophaic. Where words are a barrier, and being with him like this is more beautiul than words.....

Dearest Kate,
I truly enjoy the "unspoken" words and reading between the lines. I even tend to write in a way that leaves many paths unexplored so that the reader can make their own way through the forest of my thoughts. Creation is constantly evolving, especially in an artistic sense.
Love & Light always and in all ways,

....a resonant affect through [i would imagine] mostly women; never feeling good enough, valued, heard, or having anything of worth to say in the first place. .but we would be wrong [and so would the guys if they ever know this rawness]- --it also feels like there is more to be felt, to be said, to be heard in what we do not say; what we hold inside is far more beautiful and breakable, fragile than any.thing we put on display; and that last stanza God hears what we wouldnt even dare cast into light. ..
heaven forbid-- -i would pray that 'you' do not ever feel this; ascension is truth, whether told or untold be. ..
this feels nearly divine in its adoration of the unseen; the unheard...the need to be both- --and such loverly allegorical images invading. ..permeatng that white.ness

Kate, I've read this three times now and all I can say is...some things are meant to be left "Unspoken"...until the right time, then they will flow like a river.
WELL, I find this poem to be deeply spiritual, and I love-love the inner rhyme, "shatter" and "clatter"-- but my favorite parts were "ocean-skinned w/ reverence", "upward-trained eye..." on to the end... infinity... profoundly, bottomlessly, never-strike-the-bottom-ly awe-struck by an Almighty Mind. And Louise Gluck, I look out my window on a clear day, and I see such a poem: The Teton Mtns from Idaho's point of view-- I just don't think there's a more gorgeous sight to behold. Amazing, the things He conjures up... --Charlie
I think previous reviewers have said it 'all.' Yet, I would like to add my own appreciation for your mighty pen and to tell you that your poetry is awwwwwwsome.
Your ability to define your thoughts
with such brilliance is a true gift Kate!
As for Creator one can only imagine what
He left unspoken, seeing what He spoke
into existence. Mind Boggling!
Hopefully, we'll see it one day!;-)
I truly enjoyed this work sweet Kate, and it says so much of the vunerability of the poetess to commit her heart and soul to the written word for fear of not feeling worthy. A poet who is not humble when competing for words on paper against the likes of Poe, Wordsworth and Shakespeare is a fool. We dare not do anything less than to strive for their excellance as well.

Nice work Kate...there is a mystical feel to this view of yours, the depth of one who can feel and understand where silence and unspoken words are but a simple thought away from creation...God's creation...nice expression of poem...
Awwww.... shucks... thanks you guys! :)) xxx But I never even thought of this "I" being me when I wrote it. I usually write most of my poems in the "I" voice cos somehow the Shakespearian actress just rises up in me... the Dame Glenda Jackson takes over... But rarely do I mean "I" to mean "me" in the personal sense. Wasn't it Anne Sexton who said something like "When I write in the "I"-voice, that is just the time I am wearing a mask"?! K xx

I can hear you, and understand that you are writing this with a great deal of humility, but also with much more in the way of positive self . . . The unsad in anything can be a powerful statement, ask anyone who has had the silent treatment bestowed upon them . . . The prime-time quote in this poem is "deep as the well primed / by a beating heart;" and that, my friend is "you," and you knew it when you wrote it . . . Great poetry today . . .
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

The Aww is actually the awe you strike upon the blank page.

Your first stanza -
"The blank page. The altar
I am not worthy to touch
and the hill I am not fit to ascend ...." Please! LOL
You are worthy, you are worthy - if you weren't, you wouldn't get the reviews you do!!
The rest of the poem is just as powerful - well penned!
