Between the dawn and daylight,
between twilight and dusk,
between the falling raindrops,
between belief and trust~

All the joys of living
lie in the in-betweens,
where all the stars are shining,
and there the angels sing.

Speak to me of maybe,
of nevermore, and soon.
Dream with me of oceans
and the rising of the moon.

Let’s walk in sunny gardens,
pick yellow tulips, dance
with fairies on the border
between certainty and chance.

Thanks, decaflame. I've got to quit reading her poems, they make me write!

Nan darling heart wherever you get your inspiration from and I think you give me too much credit, don’t stop. This is utterly utterly perfect I love it. Your writing is always an inspiration, the fact that you can always conjure up words of wonder and put them into such a perfect form is a bonus.

Is this a wonderful poem YOU know I love it, and don’t ever stop reading me if it inspires such jewels of light as this. Wonderful fabulous writing

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy





Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

A gem this is...and such a wonderful thought.

Surely inspired,  yes you are...

Dear Enchantress, You are so very kind. Thank you.

Marsha, girl, I've got to stop reading your poetry. I was supposed to do all sorts of things, but instead I wrote this. I blame you entirely.

Magnus, Thank you so much. Marsha does this to me every time. I'm going to go cold turkey. Well...Maybe I'll taper off.

Nan,
I think I need to send you a whole slew of her unposted poems if this is the outcome.

Lynn, honestly, I had things to do. But when I let myself read her poetry, then I get caught up in it, and there I go. She should probably have to have a license to post, you know.

M,
Thank you so very much. I worked on the structure, and didn't get it perfect, but I thought it was fairly close, and it said what I wanted to say.

That's true, Lyra. I read poems that have stuff I would never have thought of. And the way some of these people post! One fantastic poem right after another, I sit here with my mouth open in awe!
