I do not dream as others do
Nor see the earth in earthly hue
I do not want what boldly wreaks
Of power etched in silver streaks
Nor does desire lightly tip
The pleasure-cup from which I sip
For bliss can sweetly dignify
The simple truth in mind and eye

I dream in lavenders of dawn
And draw the truth from dappled fawn
My mold from stenciled pirouettes
In scissor-cuts of silhouettes
My joy from suns that hover high
And moons that roll across the sky
Within the dream of azure blue
And misty silhouettes of you

well, dear lady, was going to highlight some of my favorite parts, but indeed, when reading you, each and every line glows forth a testament of your faith, love and kindness...not to mention, that beautiful muse/spirit of yours.

Hiya kiddo, so so happy to see you writing...your a pleasure to read, first thing this morning.

"Within the dream of azure blue
And misty silhouettes of you"

Rich images... lush words. Enjoyed.
