Tadpoles singing

As I lay wide-eyed, sleep bleary
Lying straightly in my bed
I hear the sound of Tadpoles singing
Tadpoles singing in my head

Intently listen to the chorus
Here upon the edge of dream
Tadpoles singing, "please ignore us"
Make me want to run and scream

Lips sealed by sleep here in the night-time
Tadpoles have their full domain
They sing of lilies and of growing
Singing out in full refrain

First they sway and snigger softly
Sweet stagnation in my head
Gaining ground those glowing globules
Sing siren songs by which I'm led

In the darkness - softly, slowly
I hear their song in harmony deep
They sing a song of constant growing
I see their legs before I sleep

Singing, growing in the darkness
Winning ground for game and set
See the tadpoles swiftly singing
Soon to be a frog quartet


Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Keth darling sister of my soul, and collector of my tears, I really love this poem it is UTTERLY utterly fabulous.
Yes I know I always say that but then you always write to utter perfection.
I was going to sau yes well I s'pose this is okay and will halt any tears, unless they are tears of laughter and delight. Are you wonderful? Is the sky still the home of the sun, does the sea still lap the shore? Then yes darling you are wonderful

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1
