Welcome ... as i awake this gentle morn reflecting pools of softness wrap warmth and comfort around my aching bones mesmerized by the light playing off the ripples like starbursts floating off into space the tempered gurgle raises and lowers in volume and pitch my ears follow along like notes on a page symphony of droplets playing orchestral movements matching the timpani of my beating heart the air tastes sweet today like honey, maybe bergamot like the best cup of tea upon a morning's wake the cooling breeze soaks in between layers of my skin as though my shell doesn't exist my clothes shimmer like the finest silk or fresh talc to touch i stand and stretch my limbs and feel strength of a thousand men i feel the presence of others about but see them not a slight brush against my shoulder and i turn to greet the vision of splendor as i've never seen arms stretched wide floating in air like the hummingbird awing i must be in heaven then the voice "Welcome" M.A. Miller 07.25.00 < !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

A simply beautiful piece MA, full of beautiful imagery and yet a lingering question...Are we waking on earth or in heaven??? Love this. Bonnie |
