The house
Windows drooping in sleepy
Obedience
Doors whisper to their jambs
Stairs give up their burdenous day
Creaking with heartfelt sighs

Tomorrow may we be filled
With laughter ... Love ... You
Again


sun drenched doves wings
Gaily play
With blue hills racing by
They tip their wings
At seagulls
Shades against the sky

The pull of tide, the sands warm breath
Draw seas and shells ashore
They'll sit and watch eternity
As we do evermore


The bright moon is my nightlight
The stars they light my way
They fairy dust the night time sky
And wander wild and fey

The wind directs my footfalls
As I join their midnight play
Until the morning steals their light
And moonfall fades to day

For you Carolyn
