And when both you and the stars retire
lie back

breathe deep. .

empty Your mind of life's white glow
and fill YOur spirit

with dream's black light.
becalm.

let your heart ease

its restless beat to a delicate patter.

feel the peace that is within you.
allow the eyes

that have oft spoken warm tranquility,
to close out the mortal world.
now and forever sweet soul,
receive my tender love.

feel my very life flow into yours.
and When night's cool breezes
carry vou into sleep,

drift away gentle sunshine
lie soft; and
dream on.

-Rob Andrews

Well I'll be a Jade Green Blockade

He waterfalls words

a true winder of tales on Wing,
syncOpated syllables soaring

tightly as skyborn, saging eagles;
the Word magician, magic,
such an infinite expressor,

letters in black and white wonder.
For some tantalizing reason,

ripe in this ribald, renegade flight,
the enragingly rich fantasy merchant
with the motif fails;

waterfall sinks into stagnant

sadly, sorrowfully, slowly wading in jade green,

her eyes.
