The Awakening (OctPoWriMo)

 Inspired by this music video (hit mute then feel it) or don't
because the music is too good to miss!

linking to OctPoWriMo

Seeking half-smiled approval, he relents

And wakens a dream in her innocence

The wide-eyed friendship of childish ways

Plants stars in the blue of love’s student-gaze

Age-old Newness bewilders gravity

Surprising the heart with Discovery

…and as it has been since Time began

Boy learns to shoulder the call of a man

also inspired by this day:)

 Let's Dance

A gold cello stirs

Dawn's cobalt deep

Unfolding dreamers

From cotton-clad sleep

It rends

Time’s ageless Overpass

With liquid notes

of broken glass 

Earth's vestibule

Of trees and streets

Unfurls a ballroom

Beneath feet

...and one more, just because it's fun:)

Crepe coverlets

cradle rainbows

before the bloom

breaks free

Your glance

grazes my skin

and wakens

the woman

in me~
