Dreamer

Dreamer! Dreamer!
Head held high
And blue eyes staring
Into a foreign sky.
Your feet are dancing
On some faery shore,
And your fancy treads
The paths of old lore. 
Lost in your dreams,
Your own private place,
While the thoughts of your mind
Chase over your face.
Will you come back
To lead me along
The magical roads
Of legend and song?

Mama's hand closed over mine, shoving the lever back into place. "You oughtn't to waste, Abby. Sweet water is money." Several drops plinked slowly from the piping in steady punctuation of her words. "One, two, three," she counted them, "that's coppers down the drain. They bring it from inland and you know how we all must pay!”

The Inkpen Authoress posted this month's Chatterbox topic.  Passing the Time And since we had a power outtage and I couldn't work on the newsletter and it was still too early to go to bed...I sat down and typed out this bit of dialogue.  Vincent van Gogh We  were not   - Born - for  Idleness      Altan pulled out a battered chair and dropped astride it with her arms folded over the back.

Baatar took a long pull at his tankard and drew the back of his hand across his mouth.    "Aye, well, he is but an upstart cockerel of a king."    "Determined to make a name for himself or lose his kingdom." Baatar snorted. "And the latter seems the most likely."    Altan shrugged. "Little care I for that. But both sides will be needing warriors."    "'Tis said that their peoples are on the brink
