Quilted Plush Horizon

~ The sky looks like a mattress a pillow-top it seems A quilted plush horizon where I just left my dreams I really should have stayed there all nestled in my bed With visions of the one I love adrift within my head But now that I am out here to brave the freezing cold My eyes still gaze towards the east and if the truth be told No matter if I’m sleeping or up, the day is new My mind will always see the same because my dream is you ~ Actually the clouded sky on my way home last night looked like a pillow-top mattress. I just saved the inspiration for this morning. : )

'--a quilted plush horizon where just left my dreams...' Remarkable bit of phrasing there, Chris. Of course, that's 'par for the course.' I, for one, will never take it for granted however. Bravo!

Thanks my friend. I think I was tired this morning, every thing looked like a bed to me. : )

Quilted plush horizon...now why can't I think of phrases like that? I love to read your poems Chris but the double edge sword is that it highlights my inadequacies..Great work. Ron :)

Oh come on now, you give me too much credit and not enough to yourself. I am still laughing over the carrot reply to my comment on your Christmas shopping poem. My friend what I do with weird word combinations cannot compare to the humor I find in your work. But thank you for saying so in your kind comment.

Wow, beautifully rhymed piece of emotion; it does indeed sometimes look like a pillow top.

On cold mornings we don’t want to pull ourselves out from under a nice homemade warm and beautiful quilt :)

Thank you Kim. Did you find the hidden meaning, that I would have rather just stayed in bed today? : ) Just kidding, I appreciate your kindness always.

Cool piece. If it’s a California King I guess this is an example of California dreaming!

Oh, wow Chris. I can see it! I just love this. We are in a dark, gloomy day here with freezing rain and snow. This is perfect to read. Thank you :)

Thanks Heidi. Cold and gloomy here this morning, a little sleet on the way in but nothing too bad. I appreciate you my friend.
