dream on, dear one,
only I am wide-awake
this winter night...
how silence gently seeps
around our limbs

Quotes
Life moves out
of a red flare of dreams
Into a common light
of common hours,
Until old age
brings the red flare again.
—from Land of Heart’s Desire by William Butler Yeats

this is like a lullabye...it made me think of my night-checks on my children & then it made me think of God watching over me as i sleep. so peaceful
also wanted to let you know that i was exploring the NC poet's society site & found your lovely work as a winner a few years back...i am enjoying reading your work, past & present, very much
Thank you so much. I have also been exploring your blog (and your children's and dog's blog :^D), and enjoying your beautiful joy in God, family, life and arts (especially wonderful foods). You are a blessing in this world!
Tanka, haiku, haibun, sijo -- all are such wonderful, sensitive forms of poetry.
