.........see outside of the lines....

Sometimes, its good to slow down and see things out of focus for awhile....put in your head phones and turn up the music, dance around the room as if you own the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~

there is a place that is not a where, but a when

a time filled with all the promise of ever after

and clocks that serve no purpose

this is where colors are chalked on sidewalks-

then drift and swirl like  bright silken threads after a storm

this is where fireflies surround the night sky---

miniature, incandescent falling stars cast about and dancing.

this is where light breezes whisper secrets to the willow's branches,

hiding in between the hush and the sway.

this is where even shadows hold no true darkness,

rather, they stretch and pull long, and lazy....

following the fall of the sun.

this is the feeling of windows wide open---

of no need for blankets, and cool sides of pillows that lead you

further into dreaming.

this is where clouds make endless parades of possibility

across the heavens,

and every eyes-closed deep breath is a silent offered prayer.

this is a place that is not a where, but a when,

a time filled with the promise of ever after

and clocks that serve no purpose...
