The Summer sunset washes over me br Into a Lily-White brillance i am led br With incredible dancing shadows falling br I make -the Ivy's leaves- my bed; br I lay me down in this Sovereign Nation- br True Aristocrats-they are the night br I sleep myself through- the eboned hours br Slumbering 'til morn's shimmering light; br Oh, to be as free as a bird on the wing br Dressed in the mornings glorious Dawn- br Lifting myself ever gently into the Sapphire Blue br Just a glimpse of fluttering feathers-blink -and i am gone! br br br By: Theodora Onken br br Emily Dickinson my inspiration for this write br October 29,2011br br Theodora (Theo) Onkenbr br
