quietly breathing.

the rain is falling, the thunder is having it's say.......i'm sitting quietly in the dark.  this gentle rain amidst the stormy weather has stolen the light.  in a fantasy world there is a giant of unknown origins holding a swirling cape full of secrets over this sky.......playing with us, toying with us.......keeping us in shadow.

for now.........for awhile.  not forever, for it is summer and summer brings kisses of golden sunshine.

i think that i will play this same game, twirl a magical cape over my pain and dance in some imaginary place......a happy dreamy place where nothing and no one can come to any harm.  a place with soft cushiony perfumed freshness........in the air, surrounding our bodies, in the richly woven tales we hear and tell........dream this day ye sons and daughters of challenge.  claim a day of your own within the sanctuary of your nest.  rest in it, luxuriate in it.......off in the distance the sky drummers play their tune......i am not afraid, i am comforted.

i hope that you will be able to join me in this place free of fear, that you will accept a gift from me --- a shawl spun by fairies of golden sparkling softness to pull about about your shoulders and drink in some joyous moments just for you.......steal from a place of  happy memories.  take a step onto the clouds, ride into a glorious future......filled with daydreams and wonder.  for a little while, let your world be complete and fulfilled.  wishes will come true, friends will come to hold your hand and laugh with you........family will visit.....there will be delectable treats and surprises guaranteed to delight and surprise.......to entertain and strike happy chords.

the alone is banished.......you are royalty, resplendent in gorgeous refinery......the kingdom awaits.......you shall be whisked into a glorious day of delight.  so say i, so say we all.......

find peace in your heart and let your soul be free.
