A shooting star on a crisp June night,
tickles your wonder and fills your eyes with Joy.
A bubble- blown by kids at the park, floats over to where you're reading,
You giggle at the shimmery reminders of a careless youth.
A homemade card and handpicked daisies tied with pink organza,
on the anniversary of when you lost your nana.
A cold splash as you cannonball into the neighbors pool,
it freezes you- just for a second, before you erupt into laughter.
A mug of gourmet hot cocoa and a chenille throw that nana knit,
warms you from within, encompassing you with love and security.
A brilliant butterfly flutters across the yard,
on a dreary gray day in January, a gift of hope from above.

The invisible dream, existing for each and one of us, the magic, the memory, the unexplain, the mystery, life's beauty

IM POOR...LOL

This really encompasses warmth.
This piece glows.
It cracks and sparks all that is good.
You captured something very special here.
An arrangement of the human language that makes us all human.
But it was a certain gypsy that was brought to mind..
the only one who could bring herself to life through words.
And make me smile.
BEAUTIFUL LASSIE,
BEAUTIFUL,
