I once told you that I likened you and I as "two ribbons of silk flailing in the wind", and as if guided by the hand of God, joined together to ride out the storm and then settle gently into a soft, grassy field.

In that field would be two trees, one we would shun, and one we would joyfully eat of.

And to think that once we were nothing more than two ribbons of silk, aimlessly flying about not knowing who we were, what we were, or where we were going to.

Isn't this a nice field dear sweet Linny of my dreams? I'll love you for all of my days Linny Jean...that's a real promise.

More feelings and fewer words please

There is nothing like putting your true feeling for the love of your life in print . . . Ah . . . She can go back to them again and again. Very nicely done, Ari, with those “two ribbons of silk, aimlessly flying,” and loving each and every nuance of the wind as it carried you two to that “soft, grassy field.”

You're so right Jerry, and also very perceptive. My intentions exactly.

Thank you so much.

There is nothing like putting your love down in words. My husband told me to quit buying him greeting cards for birthdays etc. because he liked the poems I wrote him for those occasions better. ~L

I see those ribbons as red...were they? Are they?  I reckon, even in the wildest tornado, those ribbons would find each other in a field of peace. Somethings are destined to be...that's what they tell me.

You are correct without flaw Red. Thanks for reading, thinking and commenting.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.
