From the journey of a dream Enraptured in the blankets Our embrace is We are An awakening peaceful passion not dreaming in the lightness we are warm extremely rippling, Ripples of the day The child’s babble We splash along
I awoke happy, enveloped in you
under covers
of home
with you
of you
the brightness
of us
with us
the morning together
together in love
is here to be
for real
at home
satisfaction day
but being
of us
with us
being the morning sun,
like banners waving
playfully above
the river of Love
our streaming
child to the river
we stream
like banners waving
playfully above
a gentle brook
child to the stream
joyful enough
to be a gurgle
in a float-along morning
embraced
by immersion
and the kiss of the day
fantastic
better than a dream

We Are Glowing (revision 2)
Running On Lemons
You are an inner voice Unwinding,
a trilling tone in my head;
though tart the prelude, a lick,
orchestration’s so sweet
it deeds me strolls
in muscle tone
by forests
by trees,
quadriceps
extending concepts
traversing
calf-fully guided by
a note
a step
a song –
groves revealed
escaping fruit
getting a leg up on bliss
inner saunters drift
in gait to gates of mind
in wound up dilemmas
citrus revealed
completed lemonade
healing squeezes
stirring tastes
sweet dreams running wild to
walk me on water
float over to you, a
serenade splash
to pucker by
