Slipped into Dreams A light rain woke me to full alert trying to decipher each small sound, my ear off the pillow with intent. Could not be rain from a clean sky, I thought, recalling yesterday’s blue. But, what was that swept in at dusk and whipped the palm trees round? I could hear its intent now, as soft as midnight, combing the leaves in the champhor tree. I could hear them droop and touch new air, picture their small bright heads glistening from the hall light. Just before the sound of ground sweet tranquility opened a silver spin of web around me wrapped with jewels, and slipped me into dreams of you. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 06-02-2001).] |

One thing I appreciate about your work is it's so clear and easy to read and the flow takes me along. The images are clear and precise, specific I like that and it is an excellent work. |
