Night was grafted onto morning dawning into a soft grey like fur on a kitten. She rolled toward the empty side of the bed, startled to find him still there, sleeping with quiet, even breaths. Her mind raced out onto the farm "Oh no, he's late - damn that alarm clock, we have to get another" Then she heard the rain and smiled She'd forgotten the sound of it, and how he felt at seven-thirty on a Wednesday morning. She slowly kissed him awake... there was much to be done |

  (smiles) Awwwwwww, i too love this thought of a lazy lovely morning like this, sweet friend, this is wonderful, I too feel as long as there is something to crow about, no rooster can ever interfere! (sigh) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

So if this is autobiographical, you live on a farm? How life is dictated by the rise and fall of the day, less rain... and how rainy days can be so much more, if there are not too many... Enjoyed! |

jwesley - thanks so very much! A rambling of a sleepless night more than a style, I think? Noah - love that about the rooster - just too cute! Thanks! Sunshine - not autobiographical, just insomnia and drought... but living in a farming town I can say you are so correct in knowing how the days are ruled. Thanks for reading! ...and her crown was formed by the ice in her eyes |

Here I go again playing catch-up hehehe Martie - thank you dear. I hope one day to write as beautifully as you. Magnus - Sometimes there is drought when even it storms outside. I say tear the roof off and let the rain in... |

I grew up on a farm and rain never interfered with my chores... just made them more miserable. *S* But maybe I was being sent outside for a reason other than chicken's breakfast?? LOL I enjoyed this very much. *S* |

How sweet and subtle, very well versed too. Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |
