THOUGH THE WIND MAY BLOW AND THE RAIN MAY FALL
10 September 2013

In the whispers of awakening dawn
in the golden song of bright midday
in the lullabies of late afternoon light
as the sun slips slowly
into moonlight’s serenades
in those long quiver-quiet hours
of sweet night bliss and slumber
we are drawn closer
like wide-sky dancers
into each other’s aura
and though the roaring wind
and the driving rain
try to tear our bond apart
we always find a way back home
into the passion
and peace
and comfort
of each other’s safe-haven arms.

You have definitely stepped into an aura.
Savor it.

Thanks, Ed, I did.  However, as you will see from my crash and burn 3 tomorrow, it didn't last.

And as we grow older, dare we trust that anything can last?

Yep, Ed, you are right . . . but sadly I never learn, wry laugh . . . though there are some lessons I am not sure I want to learn . . . imagine that!  Naïve at 67!!!  Thank you for your kind concern, though.  It warms the cockles of what is left of my silly heart.  

However, though over-sensitive, I am a tough old bird, and determined to smile at life and relish all of its beauties and joys, though that doesn't stop the tears in between, lol.
