She awoke with a yank of dream chain From a bubbled knock on her door Dragging in haggard fashion She answered an empty hall Upon closer inspection, a package Mr. Fetherall sent good morning Of sweetness rolled in cinnamon And a note of Smiley faced delight Water was poured in dual spigots One for coffee, one for her bath She moved as if spell cast Past the pile of papers last wrote She had to breath..to reflect Placing the holly on the counter Giving Yanni an intermission She believed herself a mad woman Undressing for her water spirit She climbed into the claw footed tub Laying as Ophelia, deafened delicately Studying the ceiling textured faces Stepping out into a Downy towel She felt she’d melted into the drain Stopping abruptly at her image Drawing close, touching nose to mirror Aghast and blaming light tricks She traced of lock of white hair From temple to shoulder it iced through the strands, she winced Her faded jeans and Aran sweater She pulled baby blue, very well Sensing something unfamiliar She spun about in search down the hall There upon the dining room table Lilies of whitest paper cut bouquet Tufts of Baby’s Breath enhancing A card that read..“Thank You.. For the Dance” |

(big hugggsssssss) Oooohhhhh...I love these, sweet Regina! (kiss on cheek) More, more!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Ah Regina, another in this dreamy, enchanting series. Simply heavenly If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Once again, I'm touched by the imagery, and its persuasive invitation to pause and ponder the total worth of "Bronte" Willie B |
