Not Yet Day, Not Qute Dreaming- Single Word...

Lying half awake at 1 a.m.

Listening to Circles in the Sand

Thoughts of you drift by

My sleepy mind's eye.

And even though we were never there together

I see us side by side at the lighthouse

Laughing at sandpiper antics

And drinking from the same bottle.

"We are the difference", you say,

And I agree, as we have on most things

And you know

That I already know.

Different ideas on the same philosophies

Coming to us nearly synchronized

Though I dare not say

Whose came first.

And I don't know why ours

Is so much different than theirs

But therein lies the key.

How long is soon?

This definitely has a dreamlike quality to it, Arduinna, thoughts ebbing and flowing like the waves one imagines near the lighthouse. I love this line line particular Listening to Circles in the Sand. It brings to mind tiny whirlwinds near the shore and cool weather. Nice imagery Arduinna.

Loved this - light and deep. Loved the longing in the final question.

Thank you Sheila, that was my hope for the last line and its good to know it came through that way. Its hard to know if the reader will catch the emotion I put into some of my stuff. That's one of my biggest challenges.
