Array ( [sid] => 7737 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => us here in velvet [time] => 2002-12-01 04:00:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => swirl of orange mist
walls: pale cream & green
rise and fade

dark brown petals of night
crawl in cooling windows

i look at the faces
soft, peaceful & stoned

we drift together
in this velvet moment
as night falls

and no one calls for light

outside
the rhodedendrons
drip with rain

upstairs the tv rattles

but we are outside its hypnosis
dreaming silent we savour
the deep contentment of being

eyes at peace
just touching the moment

feeling the mist holding the house,
swirling and protecting

we lift
through and touch the spirit
of this cocooning place

the course of our many lives
led us here tonight

& the night is long...

so many textures
& creations
still to touch and feel

& many friends still to come

to rest hearts here
in dreams

I'm happy you liked this - it was a wonderful era in my life, full of mystery, awakenings and adventure... ;D
