when.

when the world

burbles in, chaotically,

i close my shutters

drape these soft eyelids

over my strained windows,

then sink into pillowed quiet..

dreaming of rocky coasts

and unknown Portlands

where kisses and missing socks

are valued higher

than any other

custom of the country

Missing socks, if they were your socks I would know exactly where they went too. Beautiful is your pen that pins these scenes of simplicity into works of art. Images are bright and delightful like someone dreaming of tomorrow coming.

Beautiful write!

This is amazing. I really love every line of this piece. I love how it paints a postcard portrait of Escapism (which is my very favorite place to take a vacation). Kisses and missing socks all the way.

The chaos of life can distract us from what is important... sometimes taking a stepback is moving two steps forward.

You know I love this. And always will. More than just for the words on the page, which are expertly crafted and, once again, sets the scene of longing feelings. Great work, darlin

I love the "where kisses and missing socks/ are valued higher/ than any other/ custom of the country" - that touch of realness - important things - little things that matter - and "dreaming of rocky coasts" - ironically serene and harsh! nice!!

[Robin]
