 Porch Dreams Silence whispers among cedar trees, along with hungry Katydids, that sit aside some Cricket’s knee all laying their bearing upon this land while a spider gently draws me in… and I? I hunger for you, that one memory, the silent, sweet warmth of your hand as fireflies begin to illuminate in silent flight while far-off grows deep thunder in lumbering rolls, this night … a candle, or two is lit with hope that one may sight words that could speak to some clarity of this singular, wonderful night, and in seek of this, what just it might reveal of unspoken treasures, that this coming of thunder in its rolling, might bring… a silent seal, and it gives rise, indeed, to past blunders, and greed, and then on to a soul’s belief in every, very, little thing and all this, I see, as my eyes look forward to your silent beautiful dreams. © Karilea Rilling Jungel July 18, 2007 " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

a fine ‘write’ for this deep summer night! I am especially fond of the beginning: [particularly the opening line!] “Silence whispers among cedar trees, along with hungry Katydids, that sit aside some Cricket’s knee all laying their bearing upon this land while a spider gently draws me in…” AND, grand-fine imagery such as: “far-off grows deep thunder in lumbering rolls” sustained applause!! |

Karilea, you see and feel a silent world that many humans never experience. What a blessing for your readers that you have the talent and ability to convey that world to others.  Love & Sun Light, Linda  |

Dear Sissie...How is it that something so tiny as a spider, can make something as intricate and strong as a web? It is one of the treasures of life, is it not...as those things intangible, as a memory: "the silent, sweet warmth of your hand' Your porch swing creaks with lovely thoughts. |

Karilea~ this whispers of many a summer breeze....how I miss the sounds of the katydids and even the cricket's....living in MN summers roll in but not for long this brings back many memories of youth in the south....  ~~**~~ |

and I? I hunger for you, that one memory, the silent, sweet warmth of your hand as fireflies begin to illuminate in silent flight while far-off grows deep thunder in lumbering rolls, this night What a beautiful, pensive write! *S* I hope you don't mind me hogging the rocking chair... for I don't want to leave your porch! *S* |

Sunshine--This gives real meaning to the quote--"Poetry is emotion recollected in tranquility."--I wish that I knew whose quote that was. Anyway, the title, Poet, fits you, my friend. Hugs! Shenachie |

Yes, timeless! I love this, Karilea. Still remembering a wonderful meeting... One of the reasons I like your writing so is that you perceive beyond the self and voice it so gently. Be well, my friend. misce' |
