"In Dreams Alone" Each evening as the sunlight fades to tarnish each leaf upon the brandied hawthorn tree in autumns fleeting golden apple varnish I pray to dream of someone calling me I cannot linger long in shadow's sharing placed brief upon this handsome fertile field embraced by ache the night is overbearing into the morning's hour my heart must yield I weep before the daylight's silver lustre besets the mountainside alive with jewel and from my lover's arms I am sequestered in dreams alone is loving never cruel Rainydays [This message has been edited by Rainydays (edited 10-30-2000).] |

RainyDays~ This is an exquisite piece of artistry with words. 'I cannot linger long in shadow's sharing' Oh ... my how this line speaks. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Linger not too long with prismed tears Seasons change and beauty will abound Rainbows of petals will ease your fears With one of beauty such as you around Midnight hours bring whispers in the wind Shadows hold visions of dreams in the night Autumn's beauty will find a love to send To all those waiting with loneliness's plight Tarnished leaves are bearers of tomorrow Promises of peace and tenderness of heart Varnished apples may bring memories of sorrow Morning kisses of dew give your life a new start |

Excellent! I loved the autumn imagery, and the part about love not hurting only in dreams. You continue to amaze me, Rainydays! Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

dsnyder, thank you for reading and sharing your favorite line with me. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Janet Marie, I don't know about beautiful, but I do enjoy writing. I'm not sure if I've had the pleasure of reading yours yet or not, but will look for it! Thank you! Ron, much thanks to you (and sweet ~ ugh! ~ Woodrow)  Southern Star, thank you for reading and leaving such a nice response. Poet's Sister, I thank you. The picture kind of just painted itself! Marge, thank you so much. You have a way of saying the nicest things! Mark, you've done it yet again ~ this is astonishing and so beautifully moving. Your poetic replies are spoiling me, and I just got here! Thank you so much for this. (smiling) Elizabeth, what amazes me is the fellowship here. Your words are so kind, and I thank you! Rainydays |

What truly excellent writing you do!!! This is a wonderful piece; it sings as well as paints a picture Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |
