The Part Of Linger

When I awaken,
To the shimmer of an unrelenting sky
Expecting to be only one, and never more
Listen for the impatient ruckus of beak and breast
Smell the morning stirred in fresh clothes
The fabric of daylight swishing far then near
When I awaken,
Changed of heart and mind, skin and soul
Drumming with the inhale of night
And the exhale of day
Will my eyes be true to me,
Guiding the longboat of my slumber to the shore?
Smiling ankle deep to my step,
As I raise the blinds of my sleeping mind
Reaching up in striking realization
That my only dream believed it belonged
To touch the warm winds of your smile
Shining there

so delicate, yet so beautiful and so very
visual...I could almost feel the water
lapping at my ankles...

"That my only dream believed it belonged

This type of dreaming stays with the dreamer:

Forever Lingering.

Beautiful dream!
