Red dawn comes slowly into view
casting on the earth brilliant hue
waking life from slumber of night
sending hungry birds into flight.

The softest pillow in caress
lightness of a flowing blue dress
Warmth of a bed that beckons two
forces of dawn bring love anew.

Soft kisses that wake one from sleep
from dreams of passion ever deep
Eyes gleaming as lovers both share
waiting for a moment to flare.

Beyond a window’s flowing breeze
dawn captures all, does not abate
Upon the hill of swaying trees
echoes whisper...dawn fills the slate.

Magnus darling boy This is incredible writing, again you manage to spin words into threads of light that refract and dance in delicate hues of sunshine within. Your writing shines as no other does.

And what this brilliant jewel was doing so far down the page with so few answers I don’t know, but I’ve rescued it and lifted it up where it belongs


Love and warm stuff
As always

(smiles) Oh Barry, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I just love the colors that the sun leaves behind as it rises or suns, this is a fabulous blush of nature in your words! (sigh) This is beautifully colorful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Wonderful Magnus sir. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
