GOD WATCHED A WOMAN SLEEPING
AND, BEING GOD, KNEW HER DREAMS.
FROM EACH BREATH SHE TOOK,
GOD MADE A PERFECT LEAF,
AND FROM EACH RIB, MADE
BRANCHES. WOMAN, WAKE, WHISPERED GOD,
AND WHEN SHE OPENED HER
EYES, SHE WAS MOTHER TO
EVERY EMOTION, EACH ITS OWN
COLOR, A DREAM BIRD RAINBOW
ABOVE HER, SINGING AND FLYING.

So pretty! Much better than the biblical, sexist version :)
One of life's great mysteries solved.
that's lovely. except i don't like the 'mother to every emotion' bit. personally that is. i have way too many of them... and they can drive me kaaaa-razy
(breathless) I might need a moment to gather myself.
It's perfect.

Amen to that, Twin! ((((Twin))))
Hey, you've got questions, I've got answers, Pouty! LOL.
Yanno, Shadow, I actually hesitated over that line myself, but in the end I thought it fit. But I hear ya. ;-)
Thanks, Kristin. :-)
Have you read Clive Barker's Arabat books? You must. This made me think of it and his insane drawings .... at least go to bn.com and look at the book cover .. or Google Clive Barker and look at his Arabat sketches.. awesome .. as is this poem

Women's dreams have power!
As usual, full of imagery and light and beauty.
Happy Friday!!
"Woman, Wake . . ."
That just has so much power.
I so love that!
Oh I really like this!
So a sleeping woman is responsible for a tree?
My wife could spawn a forrest!!!
Excellent 55 Shay.
YOU are a work of art, and all that comes from your mind and heart certainly reflects that.
Thanks for playing, I feel very honored....Galen

Thanks for the tip, Daryl. I am not familiar with that, so I'll go look!
You bet they do, Scarlet! ;-)
