To Sleep with Stars If I could paint a place to go it would be a twisted trail bending bough and shadow dwelt with slanted masts of sun’s inhale I’d dwell in turning curving world moving over sand dune’s face with a hand held out to blowing warmth the fleeting moments movement’s trace In springtime sweet peas tenderness I’d find the way to evening sky and dim the meadow of lantern light to sleep with stars in hushaby Would you like to take my hand the twilight starts and days at end come open heart on spreading dome and sleep with me in bright love’s glen ----- repost from 8-10-01 |

  (smiles) Awwwwwwww, every night before I go to sleep I wish upon a star believing it may come true that I can have my Joanna someday soon and kiss her beneath the stars! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

yes, a delightful invitation...be careful to whom you issue it, you may have more takers than you expect, for it is issued very tenderly and enticingly.  Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
