Saying My Prayers As slumber slips nearer my languishing form What shall I, in silence, request? I cannot but help now gaze on toward morn with a prayer of poetic behest For a rhapsodist, gentle, with kind healing hands to cradle me, small, while I doze dusting, drowsy, my eyes, with his soft sleeping sands stilling night full of fitful repose As I lie in the linens and coolness of down, wrapped in white cotton coverlet's lace I imagine his sonnets, hear his rhyme falling 'round though not yet can I fathom his face.

The poet and spirit come round her bed Filling the air with words from his head Leading her mind to the dream world While all the while on her bed she reamins curled. . . Claire, this was an excellent poem. . . would that we all could have that poet speak to us in our dreams. . . I feel that you have. . . ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, your poetic reply is something of a prayer answered, in itself. Thank you, in earnest, for sharing your words... Rex, oh hush! Hope you liked this one. ~ Claire |

Claire, I love this piece. May you find the poet of your dreams. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Liz...so kind you are in your comments...thank you. (Still loving your "Artist" pieces from last night...) Jeffrey...I am glad you found something to like here. It is always lovely to at least have a dream, to my way of thinking. Thank you for reading this. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Claire - another masterpiece, my friend! May you always find this gentle poet, to cradle you gently through the night. I know that I have taken many of the poets here to bed with me (in a purely chaste sense of course - I took their POETRY to bed with me) Okay, all you dirty-minded people, quit yer drooling! Excellent work, Claire - keep up the good work!  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

A beautiful poem, Meadow. I think that everyone has done this before... great job. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

For a rhapsodist, gentle, with kind healing hands to cradle me, small, while I doze dusting, drowsy, my eyes, with his soft sleeping sands stilling night full of fitful repose --------------- so perfect Claire...you write my poets heart with this one...*SIGH*... yes...very lovely thoughts and expressions here.sweet poetic dreams. take care, jm Is it too much to find an answer, Is it too much to hold you close. Is it too much to find a reason, Is it too much to free my soul -- From self control ... And I know you're always waiting for me ... You take me far away, And I know you're holding me ... And it's better now ... ~vertical horizon~ |
