Very beautiful and different than your other works. I love your description of the flowers- like jewels .Loved the last 2 lines! REALLY great write Tony. It made me smile!

Well, sleeping within is the state most of us are already in, eyes open but in our dream world slumbering, unaware it's a dream. But then we suggest to "sleep within" yet again, slipping into yet another dream within a dream within all the other umpteen dreams within dreams we occupy already, never knowing until we walk out of one and into another what is, stretching on and on infinitely, like a hall of mirrors...I'm not quite sure what this abstract painting expresses, but what I SEE is that to smell those roses, to get slightly closer to that flower of "honesty" is not to sleep within yet again turning out the light, but to WAKE, walk out of that dream, REALIZING, and BECOMING THE LIGHT - for that is a true RETURN. I like your abstract approach, one can derive so many different interpretations depending on the angle from which one happens to be viewing.

Well, what ever that'little thing'is, is pretty in your own words and it came back to you after weeping into her hand.Now you can go back to sleep. Sound and deep. feel rested.
