Dream Thickened Honey

She bathes-- in the nighttime in dream thickened honey. Her mandolin cries wrapping her chilled chords around the moon. Hear the clocks ticking, hands weightless on the surface, as butterflies float away to yesterday. No effort required, they sail on such sweet notes that fall with the mellow mandolin rain.

I've been sorting through your writes. Loved this one. Noticed too that you constantly refer to the moon in your writes. This is just beautiful. Kim

I was trying to think of Bruce's name the other day to create a Pandora station to blast through my new Amazon Echo, & you just reminded me! Thanks Lin!
