Cornflower Blue Early morning a blackbird calls the tune Whilst sunlight’s fingers touch each tree in turn Soon sparkling light will shimmer on the pond Mice that scurry neath bracken and the fern And as you stir I see your eyes so blue Sometimes the dawn comes far too soon for you I touch your lips there is no need for words Unspoken thoughts the ones that are so true The chink of milk upon the doorstep now Reflecting blue the kingfisher dips again The babble of a stream a story tells And passing time to ask the question when Our time that flows like rivers to the sea And was yesterday once the day to come Within the blue you keep your deepest thoughts In buttercups together we will run |

Interesting thought patterns, for sure with this piece, Michael. I particularly liked this line, "Unspoken thoughts the ones that are so true," because while unspoken thoughts are true, they can also be hiding something. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

For whatever reason, I felt as if this could have been a song, one that I might hear Paul sing, if only because it contains so much romance, so much imagery. I could imagine him penning it. Thank you so much for sharing this. It is a delightful  |
