Sleep carresses me tenderly wrapped in a quiet haven of soft blankets the faint scent of lavender in the air With dreams that leave me with no memories other than the essence of joy hovering around me as I awake slowly with a small smile at the corners of my mouth absently brushing back tendrills of hair lying quietly in that moment of floating between sleep and morning attempting to capture where I was in those dreams feeling their mist floating away from me teasingly leaving me only with the echo of happiness To hold tomorrow we must first be willing to let go of yesterday. |

love this and love the emotion, nice write  Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

dreamkeeper - You write, "Sleep carresses me tenderly wrapped in a quiet haven of soft blankets the faint scent of lavender in the air" I would be at peace wherever this may be. You do have touching words to say. BC |

dreamkeeper, You have described it perfectly. Those dreams will return tonight I bet. Nice writing. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I love lavender, loved this Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

I envy you being left with the essence of joy after waking and not remembering your dreams. That must be a wonderful feeling. Especially scented with lavender! A favorite of mine. Lovely poem. Betty Lou Hebert |

Dreamkeeper, you capture the peaceful waking of the senses beautifully, thank you again! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

You have done yet another wonderful job with your writing. I can relate to the laying there between awake and asleep.  )Red |
