In The Still Of The Night


In the quiet still of the night
   When your dreams take flight
            Just reach out your hand
             Brush off the sleeping sand
                      And let your spirit flow
                                                 Slow
          Fly high on the breath of a sigh
             In the quiet of the night


In the quiet still of the dark
  To your dreams listen take hark
       Just hear what they say to you
        Watch its beauty running through
                            And let your mind go
                                                   Flow
                Soar high on the back of a sigh
                  In the quiet of the dark

In the quiet still of your sleep
Watch your dreams softly creep
    Just follow them into the night
      Frolic in their smoky misty sight
                       And let yourself be free
                                                   Be
            Float high on the back of a sigh
              In the quiet of your sleep

        Marsha                            



Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

Marsha - this absolutely ripples and flows - what a lovely approach to dreamland!
You'll help us all sleep well!

Marsha...still stretching and reaching with grace ...
the repetative lines worked well in this
and the unique presentation added to its softness and flow
well done
take care

The pain be mine ...
but thine shall be the praise.

Kari love, is this a stretch, dear heart? No I know it was just me playing about with shapes again. Besides you know you do it better, but I am still trying for less is more. Thank you for you always
Take care love
              Majestic Marsha
                      
Vandana, thank you truly, this really was just a little play for me.
Take care
                Mushy
                  
AD dear heart, it was me thinking about sleep didn't I say I was awfully idle! Thank you truly love, I don't deserve your praise but I will accept it with smiles.
Take care love as always
                  Mushy
                    
Lary, thank you kindly, it was supposed to be the stuff of dreams. And I thank you kindly,
Take care love
                 Mushy
                    
Rich love, thank you muchly it really is just me having a little play about with shapes. And I'm pleased you think it's beautiful.
Take care love
                     Mushy
                        
Janet Marie love, thank you ruly, but really not a real stretch, to get me to stretch Kari has to threaten me with time limits, or to withdraw her beams. If one day I can ever write even a fraction as well as you do I shall be content. Although I say it's not for my writing I stay here, it's because I get to read the very best of the best.
Thank you truly
Take care love
                  Mushy
                    
Paula dear heart, you are just such a darling, it was supposed to feel like a dream, lightly resting on you. Thank you muchly
Take care love as always
                   Mushy
