having brushed against
your feeling heart
i cry out to you
with hushed pleas
that you may hear
such whisper
and come into my arms
falling as you may
into gentle lull
that your anguish may
be lessened
as your tears spill into
my receiving hands
come to me with soul unsheathed
and i will cloak you
in my carousel embrace...

beautifully done as usual, but what else should I expect. You flow as gentle as a brook through moss covered banks, your gentle music swaying delicate ferns beneath the dappled shade of the silent canopy.

dg, thank you so much for writing this. There is nothing more I'd rather do then wrap myself up in this carousel embrace and briefly forget about problems of the day.
Of course sweet kisses might might also be inorder.

Dee, am I after the fair? Oh I love this one love, it's soooooooo gooooooood. Actually it's BRILLIANT, okay I know I shouted but I've lost my voice, truly, and I didn't want to whisper it. (I know love noisy as well as everything else.)
Love this and I love all of it, but definitely that line
Carosel embrace.
Take care love, and be good, but not too good

What a heartwarming vision your carousel embrace brings.  And of course it would have to be in slow motion so as to capture the moment in all of it's splendor.

dg, you manage to write all the things I want to write, only so much better!  I'm either going to have to learn from you or quit.   This is beautifully done.

I know about embraces...but carousel embraces I know not...I would be willing to try this at least once to see what this is all about...sounds like it would be a carnival ride to remember...James
