An allegro of angel breath
at midnight,
a tall door in Morocco
opening,
h i s eyes and dragonflies….
The mosque of Istanbul,
silently moving glaciers
in another world.
And the ribbon
that folds
in stretches of silken tongue
from spirit mouth
to land,
an elegant progression….
a cantata of promise….
a jelly bean of surprise!
What a great start to my day! Love the imagery and rich description, and the last line made me chuckle!

I love jelly beans…blue ones fascinate me …so somehow unnatural …more unnatural than any other coloured jelly bean or so it seems to me….
