we went to step down place where we didn't need shoe feet we knew the sand warm songs and our fingers made one hand when they were together the tall trees held shapes we stood in their shadows and touched with our eyes our lips whispered quiet noise like skin touching edges of breaths sky colors were our ocean then when we played in cloud pools and let the blue dye our skin and make us invisible to the eyes of the wish watchers that dream you wrote a poem for me and left it under my pillow I slept on your belly skin soft and read the words there I read them aloud and you laughed at how many times I repeated them ©Dark |

sky colors were our ocean then when we played in cloud pools and let the blue dye our skin and make us invisible to the eyes of the wish watchers that dream Sooo I get to sneak in here late and have the advantage of bumping this back to the top.. This stanza makes me see the invisible thoughts you weave into the mind..a beautiful..blend..of dreams and skin..Love this! I do hope you had a wonderful birthday. Sincerely, Reg |
