Watercolor Dreams

















Leave me to drift in watercolor days,
as I glide the current, slipping away
o’er rippled reflections of soft Autumn hues,
I steal to the place where there’s only you.

Content in this Eden where Morpheus calls,
the daylight fades darker and soon night will fall—
just leave me to linger a little while more
afloat in illusion, away from the shore .

    I see and hear this as a love poem, expressing the warmth and comfort of lying with the one you love. But maybe that's just me. No matter what, this is just lovely, Gin.

    Oh, yes, I know the feeling: please don't wake me up from this comforting dream... Almost a lullaby quality to this poem.

    Very nicely done, Ginny. Where would we be without our momentary escapes? Your words are a great reflection of the image.
