You came to me
disturbing my peace
when I wasn't looking,
unexpectedly.

Rising through the air
stirring in the breeze
you lifted me to higher ground
to catch a star inside my hands.

Then you heard my every wish
in sleepy hollowed whispers
you listened to my prayers
and knelt beside my bed.

You laid my head upon the clouds
covered in soft cotton
billowing across the sky
in dreams that you make up.

Like an angel of the night
cascading from the sky
spreading with her wings
you taught me how to fly.

Then you stepped into my mind
and cast your spell upon my eyes
you took me to the heavens
and led me past the gate.

lori,

this is so soft and beautiful...i felt like
i was floating when i read this...you have
such a way with words that really captures
your readers with avid interest! this is
a superb write...my favorite line is,

"You laid my head upon the clouds
covered in soft cotton
billowing across the sky
in dreams that you make up"

that is just way cool hon...wonderful write
as always from your pen! beautiful
take care.

the rain

world from turning 'round
can't stop me from
loving you
no matter
what you do"

(smiles) Oh Lori, this is wonderful, sweet friend, you always write such heavenly verse that is filled with such imagery! (sigh) This is spellbinding, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
