Like Kethry I combined the phrases together, although I think she did a much better job than I did. The Shadows Of My Dreams Within this tender flame that burns here in me My soul rises and glories in the dreams mystery To bathe in the light that are in my dreams alone With their images as insubstantial as the sea foam Whispers in the dark speak their secrets to me There in my dreams I have no identities or memory In that smoky misty world where shadows dance Where life is all possibilities I can take a chance In the shadows of my dreams I can see your eyes They ignite my soul with fire and my heart flies Mystic moons guide my way through loves maze In this my house of passage I wander in a daze Trying to hold on to my soul while letting go I feel my soul move to you I follow dreams flow To be enraptured like this, I’m enchanted by you Held in thrall to you, held by my dreams so true I am a rose held in the shadows of my dark night The sigh of a breeze that is blest by angels flight If forever lasts for a day then night is my eternity And held there in my dreams I’ll lie contentedly Angels sing the songs that I hold inside my heart There in the mists where my dreams of you start I’ll whisper to you as you come in my dreamtime Love come and enrapture me for ever I am thine Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I wouldn't sell myself short there Mushy....this is a beautiful write! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

very nice work... dale Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. -Marge Tindal |

Mushy, Mushy, you did this so well. I am so proud of you! *HuGS* Now sister Moon is envious of the light you shed. Write On in song Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
