Charlie679:
Before twilight the sun shines brightest.
Charlie679:
Waiting for the moon, my crystals turn to silver.
Charlie679:
The sheet floats down. The quilt folds over, a swan's wing covering its nest.
Charlie679:
Cool water falls like moonlight on my face.
Charlie679:
I brush my teeth with evergreens. Mint pricks my tongue.
Charlie679:
My nightgown smells like clouds after rain.
Charlie679:

Charlie679:

Charlie679:
The sheet floats down. The quilt folds over, a swan's wing covering its nest.
Charlie679:
My cat's square head bumps up against my palm.
Charlie679:
Her weight settles heavy behind my knees.
Charlie679:

Charlie679:
The minnows dance, fly, fade.
Charlie679:
Schools of rainbow minnows tremble on my ceiling.
Charlie679:
The wind brings the scent of freshly cut grass.
Charlie679:
Whiskers brush my hand.
Charlie679:
Pillows hold my head, high as the laps of soft mountains.
