encased in a soap bubble while you float away; raindrops falling upward; the sweetness of honey.

the dolphins, the vision, the white feather, and the black raven; sparkles in brown sand; finding what you’re looking for in a Persian bazaar.

the old moon turning over; playing with wild monkeys in the jungle; merging with all the other drops in the ocean.

the strange eyes of a perch; opening the drawer and finding it goes on forever; curling up beside a lion.

blue peaches at the bottom of a well; the tinkle of glass coming from the trunk of a tree; time folding over itself.

the cricket chirping on the hearth; a pocketful of aquamarines; singing your heart out.

making angels in the snow; Vishnu; bougainvillea shading the temple.

laughing out loud at an email someone sends you; cool stones in the brook on a hot afternoon; holding hands in a fierce wind.

eyes that pierce your soul; dancing till dawn and the setting moon; being born.

the beach in winter; angels bending near the earth; minestrone soup simmering on the stove.

the homing pigeon bringing an extraordinary message; climbing the slippery rainbow and sliding down the other side; holding hands while ice skating in Central Park.

three moose romping; the shadow of a mountain lion; putting on emerald green velvet slippers.

large boulders in the heart of the river; finding the perfect wand; hibernating.

fragrance of white ginger; carousing late into the night; a life-long friend.

the phoenix consumed by fire; the camels approaching the oasis; candleglow and mistletoe.

being lowered into an unexplored cave; imagining the possibilities; whirling at dawn.

opening an old trunk that was left behind on the dock; dahlias and lilies; finding the perfect broomstick.

lamps being lit; a long tramp through the snow; waves folding over pebbles on a small beach.

a store window cascading with fresh fruits and vegetables; meeting at St Martin in-the-Fields; polishing the silver.

city streets in a dream; a momentous occasion; painting the water lilies in the pond.

the yacht strung with colored lights; standing at the base of the pyramid; in the middle of a fairy ring at dusk.
