The Retiring, Write She hid behind full skirted thoughts veiled her words of silken sheen allowed bravado flight, as if caught behind irises of jade gone green beneath the skim of pinkened flesh below the pulse of blue vein imagery would of’times thrash as stray words were found again they skipped along like russet leaves and played along the streams then scampered back up her crimson sleeves until she sought night’s dream timid though she was in shy her heart heard a mighty song so she’d only sing to Sky and heard it thunder along sometimes Wind would hear her hum her valleys would echo back and lo, then her Heart would strum as word upon word she would stack for slowly in her quiet reserve she allowed her truths to flow as she wrote in practiced curve all that was vital for him to know for in her adept, gentle way her whispers were songs’ afford as her mirth lit up her say resounding like harp’s sweet chord |

sometimes Wind would hear her hum her valleys would echo back and lo, then her Heart would strum as word upon word she would stack for slowly in her quiet reserve she allowed her truths to flow as she wrote in practiced curve all that was vital for him to know for in her adept, gentle way her whispers were songs’ afford as her mirth lit up her say resounding like harp’s sweet chord ======================================= and we are ever so glad she "stacks those words" in the light where we too can enjoy them... and this? ... this is deeeelightful You know I love this one Lady.... yes..you know....... This distance has shown how the road remains alone |
