Your ariose voice is cabled and wears the sound of the sea Each thought arrives before you rebreathe the last whisper A seductress calling me from sleep with words gently disappearing into my fantasy reborn into a nautical dream where a musical ship must ferry your words to me in song No journey of ease in tranquil leisure a bond of harmony is formed with the shore There are no mermaids riding waves to kiss drowning sailors so hymns are offered to lighthouses that answer in steady bright beats Each note is a promise of hope that endures within each song as yet unwritten every dream left unscored I frown as I wonder if a deafened Beethoven was cursed with silent dreams or maybe in blessed sleep he found his salvation not in sawing legs from pianos but through walking meadows in the night accompanied by his pastoral sixth It's easy to dream with my eyes closed I can taste the distant winds that sweeten austere sails with a lingering scent freshly missed and unmistakably yours I can hear you calling me and should feel your breath It’s very absence awakens me to find your voice again cabled thickly whispering goodnights and regrets It is your time now to dream |

This deserves a place in the book. I loved the last line.  Elizabeth I've waited on a line of greens and blues, just to be the next to be with you.. ~Mr. Big [This message has been edited by skyshine (03-17-2003 04:55 PM).] |

yes, a dream indeed, and Jamie I sure wish you would get in there more often, your choice of words for imagery are absolutely fabulous. Again, congratulations on your publication, and I bet there are tons more that are book worthy than this one. |

I can taste the distant winds that sweeten austere sails with a lingering scent freshly missed and unmistakably yours I can hear you calling me and should feel your breath It’s very absence awakens me to find your voice again cabled thickly whispering goodnights and regrets It is your time now to dream Here's to you and every dreamer who dares to believe in them. I wish I could find the words to thank you for this. It speaks to me in every way...as if the wind swept me up, softly. |
