the other night I couldn’t sleep I was watching over you while you were all asleep or working, wherever you may be the blue pages weren’t moving like deep still water and if I had wanted I could have dipped my fingers and made ripples but you were all at peace so I read you, I felt you I followed you while you were all asleep I laughed, I sighed I wept at the treasures you had left for me to read while you were all asleep g’night peeps… . ___________________________________ this poem is for Alison who I’m sure I saw sitting by the water with me  . my mind won't rest and I don't sleep... not even in my dreams ~ s. nicks |

LOL, guess there are several of us who haunt the board at night. Sometimes I read at 3 AM when I can't sleep. Alison will smile at this post. |

Dear Brown-eyed Beauty, I know whereof you speak! ~ and you wrote it to puuuurrrrfection!  I love the sense of comaraderie and a closeness to other 'peepers' who are sailing these blue seas at night. What a pleasure it is to pop into pip and read the words of so many friends. ~ Such a comforting, warm feeling and we can do it 24/7. I enjoyed your thoughts on this ss.  Love 'n a big warm hug, Linda  |

So good to know that you were tiptoeing on the blue pages during the night, dear Shellie. I do that too, when I succeed in keeping my eyes open ... The possibilities are almost infinite when you consider that there are the archives to discover ... there are wonderful sparkling treasures there! Enjoyed this heartfelt, beautiful declaration of appreciation ... you are a lovely night fairie poetess! Love, Margherita |

So here I am, Shelli, rippling the waters of the early morning pond again. I think the mist is rising off the waters and each ripple is worth a wish. I love being up with you and Ida. However, you all are really the nightowls. I am here at 8:18 my time and it's well after midnight in PiP land. Oh, the joys of time differences. I am often up late though - hence my email address of snowy_nightowl. I love my quiet time here with my midnight and early morning friends. Thank you, darlin', for the gift of poetry and your thoughts. What a lovely tribute you have created. Love, Alison |
