When You Say My Name- Double Tanka

When you say my name Stars rush down from the heavens Dressing me in light I become goddess divine Fashioned by love in your voice When you say my name The world is too small a place My soul wanders free Gliding down the Milky Way The Queen of the blessed night Eileen Manassian Ghali

(In my best TV commercial announcer voice): "Saying your name is like eating a York Peppermint Patty...LIKE I'M FLYING HIGH OVER A MOUNTAIN TOP!" Hopefully you know what a York Peppermint Patty (aka one of the greatest candies ever) is. This was a very serene & joyous set of lines. =)
