Slowly dawn creeps in bringing with it, new day shining so brightly the sun in glorious amber rays while a cozy blanket of pure golden warmth spreads it's beautiful light over the sleeping earth. Life continues on from morning till night settling into sweet slumber under sparkling starlight a blanket of moonlight covers the evening skies creating visions of beauty to greet on looking eyes. In the course of one day many things come to pass from a new born baby’s cry to sounds of shattering glass, My mind does ponder as I drift off to sleep how there can be so much joy yet still, so many must weep. In circles we turn spinning around and around searching for answers with some, never to be found. I look out upon the skies to vast horizons, so blue if I had just one wish, I'd wish that this would come true; may peace be woven into this blanket that covers this earth, each day during each cycle of night, turning to light may that blanket, never, ever fray and may it never again, go away. |

That was so awesome... Although, happiness and sorrow exist on both sides of the blanket... I am left hoping that only the sorrowful side frays... A |

Oh, Gentle Spirit, how I wrapped myself in all these gentle-spirited blankets and wished and prayed with you that very beautiful Gentle Spirit wish that drew my tears and smiles. - Owl |
