Sift lightly through my memory,
let me catch a bit of thee,
.
I slumber in the speckled sun,
my laces – they have come undone,
.
fall softly through an open dream,
you bring berries, I’ll bring cream,
.
we’ll build a tower, peal the bell,
no stranger, love – I know thee well.

Always good to hear from you, Lindy Lee! I was maybe channeling Mayberrie a bit – but at the same time it was meant for the present.
