BEFORE NIKE WAS A SHOE
SHE WAS A GODDESS
at play in a field of liquid gold and
burnished brown
Riding on rippling waves
of Venetian Blue
Saffron and emerald
reflecting in her eyes
Delighted in Autumn’s gloaming.
That night she dipped her finger
into my dreams
stirred them awake
and waited
Breathlessly_
About the Creator
Rulam Day
In another life I was a pirate, a race car driver, and a spy. But those are stories for another time. Rulam Day is an anagram of my name, Mary Daul. I publish under both.
If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
