sea glass
chandelier crystals
stained-glass
walls of light
prismatic
watching
orange fingers
of dawn scratch
nightscape; chase
moonlight cross
floor of wood
autumn leaves, mosses
and wildflowers
last gasp of stars
on bowl of ceiling
telescopic, kaleidoscopic
beams of light and heartwood
roof shale, slate and sand
murmurs of oceans always
howl of winter; mew of spring
doorstep far horizon
loft, nest of down and cobwebs
fireflies and dragonflies
buzz of sleepy bees
always safe and comfort
mine and mine alone
to share or to miser
to build a new each morning
to design a new each night

I too love the idea of building each new day ~ This part is my favorite:
murmurs of oceans always
howl of winter; mew of spring

Also, those “orange fingers of dawn” scratching the nightscape. Goodness.

Thanks — I find myself using such analogies about dawn — my favourite sun-time of the day.

Entirely gorgeous, all. But this?

Thanks. I drifted with the whimsical notion of creating my own space — the impossibilities of engineering and architecture left behind.

Is it our attention, our intention, that creates our homes anew each morning? I love your poem of lightness.

Thank you. There are days I build my house anew — my mind wanders to a new place — under the weeping willow branches, in the middle of a forest glade. Some days I rearrange the windows and the door.

I can imagine the lightplay in your beautiful house, Lorraine, and love a house that is different every morning. I particularly love the sea glass and stained glass, the fireflies and dragonflies, and buzz of sleepy bees. I have a drowsy feeling just thinking about it, and I’ve only just got up!

Thanks you. I’d love a house that was different every morning be it by play of light or rearranging floor and ceiling. An every changing structure of imagination and nature.

I like these insects which every house would welcome: “fireflies and dragonflies
buzz of sleepy bees”. I also liked that it be one “to share or to miser”.
