Bronte stood as a statue Baby powdered with glittering dust Like that of a pillar of sugar Until a taxi reared its ugly horn Her pen magnetized to her hand Dazed, She began to pour the scene Shaking herself clean of thoughts Sifting through her recollection Fervently she described her stranger His Beacon still spotting her vision In quickest strokes she wrote Harboring each word of maiden voyage “His hair of platinum clouds.. His skin of molten bronze... With a cleft copper kiss of chin And the eyes...archaic patina glaze” The whitewash of comfort came Like some nostalgic memory That bruised her heartstream With the thickness of warm milk There was nothing fearful within her Her intrigue a natural antidote Even the gentle noise flapping inside Breezed that of sheets out on the line She wrote unconcerned of ache Until her lids eclipsed her eyes She fell off her pointed perch With the last word scribbled to sleep She entered limbo dissolved to a mist Only to appear in a hovering dance Taking the hand of her Lugh Swaying, embracing in the wed of Loch Together they twirled atop dark waters As a ghostly play of swirling smoke Never touching dry land, never pausing Ever so lightly rippling the surface |

Through the beauty of color and motion you lead us through your tale. Magnificent spendour is painted in your words. I love the vision of it. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Together they twirled atop dark waters As a ghostly play of swirling smoke Never touching dry land, never pausing Ever so lightly rippling the surface I agree with Sven. Tell us there is more! |

Captivating again the senses..you continue your story... very nice imagery in this and a slow slide into the mists and fogs of sleep....ending in the journey through dimensional reality... Again and as usual... very impressed... |

The whitewash of comfort came Like some nostalgic memory That bruised her heartstream With the thickness of warm milk Regina, this flows beautifully from your pen. Your imagery is perfection! Enjoyed. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |
