A Swirl of GauzeUnfolding fragrance, morning's hush Ivory petals, mignonette's glow I wake, emergent, damp to touch and turn, gown's gauze a fluid flow In golds and garnets, leaflings greet through French door glass, veranda bathed Eyes new from sleep's incessant sweet with sudden stream of sun enswathed And naught for lure of daylight's charm, my head full fraught with dreaming's grace A swirl of gauze, strong hands on arm pulled 'round to sleep in your embrace |

Terrific writing... I often end up wondering how you do what you do so well... how do you always create such great poetic works... I will never know the how, but I like whatever you write... Thanks for sharing your supreme art... regards O Claire, Sudhir [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 09-05-2000).] |

Sudhir, I very often wonder the same when I read one of your amazing compositions. Your creativity is boundless, my friend. Thank you for reading this and taking time to let me know you enjoyed. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Claire... Like Sudhir, I marvel at your way of choosing words that paint delicate pictures across the mind.....that, to me, is really poetic art, and you are a master at your craft. I am serious. Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Claire, I am in awe of your gift, my friend. To awake as I did this morning to find such loveliness at Passions has really started my day off in a most positive way. This is pure art. I truly love it. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

"In golds and garnets, leaflings greet through French door glass, veranda bathed Eyes new from sleep's incessant sweet with sudden stream of sun enswathed" Exquisite Claire! These words just rolled through my mind magically as I read ... absolutely beautiful the way you utlize such flowing words to create the most incredible imagery. Lovely Claire!  Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 09-05-2000).] |

Heather, hi. Actually it was written in a wistful moment this morning. Your perception lies right with my own for this piece. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with me today. Kit, thank you. Your response is so kind, and I appreciate it so. I just write what comes into my head. (scary!) LJA, morning spoons are lovely, are they not? Thank you for reading, dear. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
