Colour My World Neo-n

A spiritual home
to fly,be free
I'm ever to roam
in words with glee

Thumping heads
and clashing swords,
over a simple thing
as words

Letters our code
to other realms,
talking a leap
to stand at the helm

We Colour our worlds
in rainbows bright,
and sing of love
in shining light

I beguile the sea
to love the moon,
by listing his head
across the dunes

Loved and adored
are you all,
for every last wish
in warm loving word's

Finding a home
among the code,
dreaming and living
the written word

I wove a unicorn
through the night
I rode to the moon
to my great delight

All this I did
in my head,
and alive in word
We'll never be dead

Neo-Colored world, oh gosh! Reading your work is so like putting on 3-D glasses and watching a movie. I love your perspective. "Letters our code to other realms, [talking] a leap to stand at the helm". If it wasn't meant to be talking, but was to be [taking], I can see it both ways. I guess I will have to accumulate some more aggression now, because I just couldn't go right out and start killing after reading all the nice,sweet stuff that you, Org, and Ann have written. I guess that going school clothes shopping for Jason will do it. There is bound to be a lot of aggravation there. [Crowds, traffic, and I'm sure some rude people.] LOL Glad to see you are feeling well enough to write some [Icky sweet stuff] LOL I will have to put some salt on my brow to drip in my eyes and maybe get some heart-burn from fast-food before I can write of murder. L & Hugz, Gee

This is delightful. It has elements of truth presented in a fun and happy format and with your usual aplomb! Well done! Respectfully, Rett: "When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half." Gracie Allen

Dear Jayne-Chloe,

I like the sentiments. There is a wonderfulness to this place of the Tap-Tap (to paraphrase Caitlin). There is an ear listening, an eye straining to see past the curve of the horizon. Love Brian
