The coolness of morning dew upon leaf
The gentle ripple of moving waters
The caress of soft winds
The feel of shimmering veils in sounds I hear
The embrace of each piano key
And known be this awakened heart.

Thank you Ashley. I visited your blog and feel the joy of what you hold in anticipation. I share your delight and love of music.
This is a really lovely poem, Rose Marie-- thanks! I also liked "It Is In Us" & "Impressions" a lot, & was very struck by your watercolor accompanying the latter poem.
