Where, Without Me Listen to the way the sound spills into the morning. The ending of a dream rustles the sheet right after the first crow calls. Then next, in chorus of sweet twitter, comes the small brown finch. I can feel the light creep across the floor with my eyes shuttered. Then your sigh breathes onto my cheek and your foot reaches to find me across the expanse of night. It feels like coming home. So far we dream in this curved time, together, yet lost to each in star-born gleaning where time flies backwards and love beckons with amber eyes. I wonder where you have been without me.

Ah, sweet dreams, sweeter reality, and a fabulous write. By the way, I could send you a rooster if you like  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth |

So far we dream in this curved time, together, yet lost to each in star-born gleaning where time flies backwards and love beckons with amber eyes. beautiful poem Martie, "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |
