words can barely capture dreams
whose wings caress the dawn
the world has so much beauty still
it wants to show us more
we are here to chase the waves
in shades of turquoise blue
our gratitude spills over
when blessings feel this true

We wish you all a very happy Monday and a wonderful new week!
With love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

I wonder how the whippets dream? somehow I think they acting out their dreams.

Thank you Björn and welcome back! They dream after they have been running, wagging their tail and flicking their paws in their sleep as if they are still on the beach :o)

The two opening lines are breathtaking Xenia. I like the rhythm of this, like the rhythm of the waves or the puppies breathing and flipping their paws in their sleep.

Thank you my FRiEnD and lovely to see you here ☺ I was over at your ‘Every Prophecy takes a Thousand Pictures’ last night and the tab crashed a few times. I got as far as you being on the ‘high tide side of roaring waves of fun’ which made me laugh and made the screen jump back to the beginning. I will attempt and read some more if our broadband can cope with your breath of words over the weekend ☺💖 xxx

with little old me hailing and helling from Deep South..

Over the years my accent has changed gradually and perhaps there is now a Scottish tune in there somewhere too ;o) xxx

I was born in The Netherlands, to a Dutch father (with Frisian and French ancestry) and German mother (with Swiss, German, Polish, Czech and Hungarian branches of the family). Many members of my family married someone of another nationality, myself included. A late great-aunt of mine married an Irish American in California too ;o) xxx
