'All the Way to Heaven'~


"I want to find me a carnival
Outside of town
A tilt-a-whirl set up
With a merry-go-round
Cotton candy fingers
And a snow-cone mouth,
I want to roll you in sawdust
Till they run us both out,
All the way to heaven..
All the way"..

Night breeze blowin' between us
Down a ribbon road,
I want the all of you..
To taste your shadow
Upon my lips, while
You want to free the heaven in me.

Travel me down through carefree hollow
Where owls call to their mates
and loons chant to lovers,
Past Testify-tree
Where old wounds are hung out to dry,
Uncertainty tossed to the ditch.

We'll race towards a gaping sky
Swallowed by its sunset blessing,
There you'll give to me a shawl of stars,
Cold no more I'll be..
You've brought out the heaven in me,
All the way to heaven,
All the way..

Sky,
You write so sensuously carefree in unique settings. Never know where you are going to take me when you write,just know I'm going to love the trip. ~L

Purely enticing, this one is, Sky~  The images you give us, “carefree hollow,”  “shall of stars,” open the reader’s eyes to wonderment.  If you walked down the road singing you’d be like the pied piper, anyone who heard you would find themselves following along.
