I dreamed
and maybe you saw
the colors in my dream;
luxuriant gardens of why,
scented bath with precious oils
from a distant country,
the impression, the question of how…
and I’m amazed
at all the things that you saw,
the atmospheres that lived
on my sleepy skin,
you felt.
…And respect
pure and multifaceted
- a physical presence in a world of sorrow -
appeared between us:
a hyphen
between your absence
and my presence.
Finger rubbed
on a crystallophone:
notes from a rare instrument,
titillating reverie
and tinkling smiles…
Then,
while I dreamed,
with respect
you left, yet
even from that little distance
I felt protected,
while you collected,
drop after drop,
the hopeful message
in my forgotten dream.
Best wishes
Such a feeling of tranquility in your words. Soothing, yet adventurous. Like many of our dreams can be. I love the title of this piece, too. Happy Easter:)

Well done

I am stunned by the soft grace of your pen, as your words form...
A glass harmonica is fragile
and your poem is magical and soft-feeling, as read and written!
Loved it - goes into my Axilea, folder to read over...
WRITE ON!

The title conjures up something clear, vibrant, magical and somehow solid, though other-worldly.
But in the end it all comes together-- it's not the tool itself, but the music made by it--intangible, pervasive, elegant, and yet wistful.
Perhaps the reciever of the poem was able to catch the melody and tuck it away in a box, to be revisited each time the box is opened. --Charlie
nice work...

a hyphen

so personal and tastefully rendered dream, for a brief moment,
to lose myself in the color, sound, and feel manifested in the
beauty and skill in which you craft this most intriguing work
of art. A marvelous title. -gene.

Glass harmonica - such a fragile thing! Such a beautiful image you pen - undone by the wonder of you. Well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
This has the mood of music heard in another room, one of my favourite sensations, a mood that blends realities, projections, separations and desires and above all sensuality, the drops of oil, the "Finger rubbed"; full of dark passions in the world of half-dream and waking.
