Sonnet Too

Sonnet. I touched upon a dream perfectly chorographic as a ballet troupe of sardines avoiding predators. A dance where no one applauds and everyone is a loser, sad except for the mysterious beauty of shimmering silver in a bottle- green ocean. I touched upon a dream sparkling as fizzy wine bobbles clung to cool glass disappearing with plop- a momentarily rush of happiness- murmour of voices; then the wine was still, yet for a second the of mysterious wonder is remembered. I touched upon a dream cold as a winter forest, blue, frosty mist wrapped around trees; layers of snow on the lake of recollection, but one day a mysterious flash; and all will be remembered.

Hi Jan - So often you surprise me with your quick turn of wit and unlikely words to draw my mind to what is behind them. This, my dear, holds soft awakenings turned back to a peaceful sleep of the ages. It is beautiful. love, Kathy
