i would speak not of careless things
were i to speak of thee
i would not hold common things
were i to near hold thee

touch me with thy softest touch
in the very heart of me
lead me gently, smile softly
keep me close to thee

in the glimmer of the fireplace light
or the glistening of the cup
as mother nature warms our dreams
with weathered snow pristine

and dream of that which might yet be
in dreams of quietude
and dream of that which might yet be
together in solitude

~ I read these lines over and over again. I do so know what you mean ~ and you expressed those feelings very poetically!

Very sensual appeal to this write.
Good thoughts to keep close in mind and in dreams.

this was dreamy, and took me to a place I have long forgotten, if only for a moment, it was indeed as you described....
profoundly beautiful
