renewal

the soft light touched her skin like a satin ribbon---she didn't open her eyes, although she was certainly awake

the thoughts of her dreams, echoed in her memory and she closed her eyelids tighter as this could change it

many years had left her wiser and wiser still she would become--- still she struggled---how futile it all seemed at times

and then like a candle's brilliance in the early evening's dimness--it would hit her---she knew, she could go on, not only on but follow

follow an unknown thing, but so real she could feel it's breath on her moist neck

only she knew her intent and strength, only she could end this dream

  7. I think you could turn some of your writing into song lyrics, Lynn. What do you think? More people would be helped by your words.

  8. I'm curious about her dream. Sounds like it could be something she is hoping/dreaming to be true someday. Then again, it could be she was hoping to dream a bit more and change the dream to something else. Will we find out?

  13. Almost my dream last night Lynn. It wasn't light with me though, it was a galaxy and I floated within it. Thing was too was that I was conscious. Any more dreams like this and I'll suspect an alien entity !

    You have a love way with words.
