You Are Tired

You are tired

(I think)

Of the always puzzle of living and doing;

And so am I.

Come with me then And we'll leave it far and far away-

(Only you and I understand!)

You have played

(I think)

And broke the toys you were fondest of

And are a little tired now;

Tired of things that break and-

Just tired.

So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight

And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart-

Open to me!

For I will show you the places

Nobody knows

And if you like

The perfect places of Sleep.

Ah come with me!

I'll blow you that wonderful bubble the moon

That floats forever and a day;

I'll sing you the jacinth song

Of the probable stars;

I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream

Until I find the Only Flower

Which shall keep

(I think) your little heart

While the moon comes out of the sea.

~ E. E. Cummings~

Smooth Sailing

My second themed Christmas gathering! I decided to go Nautical as I thought it would be an easy enough theme for people to rustle up an outfit at such short notice (smile).  I think I did rather well with the little amount of time I gave myself this year (blush).  I took a few pics, my camera was in for a service and so I used a camera I am not familiar with...the results, a few fuzzy pictures...but they capture the essence of it!

The cute boat and waves were created by Alcock & Wrinch-Schulz Carpentry & Design, they are a pleasure to work with and had it done, and delivered in a tight time frame! Check them out on Facebook: http://goo.gl/LHtG1
