ALMOST 9 October 2012 Out of the mists of memories he came, slowly, with head held high, like a prince in a fairytale, and put out his hand to her, wordlessly asking for a dance. She advanced, barefoot, in her long, long dress falling in soft folds, the changing colours of the mist, a wood-nymph in the arms of a prince. For hours they swirled and twirled to the music of their hearts in the forest glade surrounded by woodland creatures and when dawn melted the sorrowing mists, they both faded softly into their moonlit memories and fragile dreams and the woodland creatures bowed their trembling heads and hearts heavy in silent mourning.

Diana, i hope you dont mind me posting my scribble that your lovely poem inspired me to scratch out: A reminisce of weather from high and from low met in the middle as arms overflow The fabrics of element dressed for the fall prance in the forest sway in the squall Their audience peering from bush and from limb the tempest revival beginning to shim The zephyr now over the leaves are all gone the critters bed down as the year, starts to yawn another wonderful piece from you  |

From the mediocrity of reality, you drew me into a magical world... and I understand and share the ending lines of grief at the fading. Beautiful work! |

Thank you, Karilea for your comforting words. I am still in tears and scrunched up and reeling after reading your Blackie and Tippy poem. Happy Christmas to you too and hugs to you and Poe and Twain. Owl |
