Poem -

breathe on

and here you are whilst sleeping
healing, crinkles on
your eyelids smoothed
and here you are whilst sleeping
being
a body still and thus marooned

a spirit free and somewhere off
as night tiptoes around
your form
and silence will not call you
home
you'll nay return to earth
till morn

and so you be a'sleeping, healing
body static, still, unmoved
and here you are
and here and gone
whilst shallow wisps of breath
breathe on

Hi Marion. I've been too long away! And the fault is entirely of my own lack of doing. I'm actually thinking of picking up a pen again!

I am catching up on your work right now! And I will catch up on others too. I have an awful lot of catching up to do!   Oh my god ...that rhymed ...eek!  Wasn't meant to. Lol. The pen is calling loudly and the ink is during itself into its magic inkwell,  so who knows? Xx

Ha ha lol...just write Tina, there is no one to please except yourself. As fir rhyming I wish I could write better and not rhyme but nothing sounds right. Non rhyming is a skill I don't possess. Also do you write to a rythym in your head? One that no one else in the world can hear? Sometimes I read my own stuff back through another's eyes and think that's shit...cos it is...it only sounds ok to me cos its bopping along to my own rythym...that nobody else can hear😆😆😆 Whatever. 
I'm.glad your mojo and magic is returning love ...write!!! 😊❤

Yess! Yes I do write to a rhythm! And not always the same one. And that is why I love your poetry ... it has rhythm when you read it. You are a natural poet! Your words are enjoyable to read xx

weren't you?

I think now
I might have kept a thing
Your green eye in a glass case
