Back from the sea but not yet quite me so a little ditty will just have to do.  Dawn There once was a lady called Dawn who arose with a stretch and a yawn. She looked to the left and thought it was best to disappear to another love nest. But that was then when men were men and the spirits came down from heaven to share for a time two bodies on fire and know of this thing called life. Now, the devils and demons as we all know haven’t yet learnt to go slow so they dreamt a dream inside of just one and framed it in gold like the sun. They hung it, they did, in the heart of Dawn and dusted it off with feathers and all to tickle the fancy of her many parts and send her in search of a loving heart. Dawn found a heart like an almond tart but that was only the start for there was a soul so mournfully low that she said, “Pack them both up to go”. And now in these days of pay, pay, pay, Dawn has no earthly say whether to eat or sink to her feet because the spirits, you know, are free to arise with a stretch and a yawn and fly into the golden dawn!

Thank you both for the read. Sometimes even the silliest things still manage to say something - one might have to dig deeper though. |

I think this little ditty of yours is much deeper than first meets the eyes, Helen, my friend!  ....jo |
