Birch bark (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
unexpectedly you arrived
drawing me out of myself
to the far reaches of the mountain peaks
to the very tip of the purple clad birchbark twigs
removing layers of self-doubt, peeling away like the paper of the tree
your reaffirming gentle being drove me into the depth of my being
teeteering on the precipice of love
ocean tossed waves cresting upon the shore
dancing delightfully in your charm
your every word brought new light into my inner sanctuary
burning burgundy red sunset deep
i hungered for more
ethereal YOU

I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to stay on This page! I do declare!
I think if I stare at the cursor flashing long enough I’ll think of something to write… about how wonderful it is to just free-flow thoughts, words, and images to you… and they are received…like the first Morse code tapping, Joy Joy Joy
