Fluted and Full of Light Sigh me into the morning again love, for I am fluted and full of light and breathe this smile of day for you to turn and watch. There is delicious life on these pillows that merge and the shape of your head is engraved there, this softness where my heart turns is still warm. I have curved with you into these years and watched time changing, each day’s passing to shadow, crease and color that tell me I am fragile and no longer new. But you hand me your warm words that see me still in bright love’s glow, and after time has drifted past and bathed my skin, I think that maybe I am as lovely as your vision for you would not say so if dearest love had not made it true. < !signature--> In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Martie Such a poem Such vision of love and time Rings in my ears like a chime I'm glad I read this piece from you And I sure HUG you for it too The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Oh, this is exquisite! I too, love the words "I have curved with you into these years"... I couldn't have said it better. You have engraved the long love between my husband and me in 24K gold lettering. I'm going to share it with him right now! |

That you could write such beautiful words - tells of your capacity to love deeply and truly - My only sadness - is they were not penned for me |
