TURN AGAIN
22 August 2011

Brimful of sigh-wonder,
eyes stroke the birth-colours of the morning,
exploding the sparkle in the shimmer-windows
into the music of virgin laughter, laughter, laughter,

and like a unicorn
prancing
at the gates of peace,
or a vixen protecting her young,
or an albatross winging the wide ocean sky,

the day bursts into bloom.

“eyes stroke the birth-colours of the morning,
exploding the sparkle in the shimmer-windows”

“an albatross winging the wide ocean sky,
the day bursts into bloom.”

Love these lines.

Very nice write - and morning story.

I am glad this was brought up again, I had read it before, but could not reply in that moment.

Spectacular!

Love,
Margherita

Beautiful and original expression of the day's birth.  You are incredible too, you know that?
