Passions

passions of fire
embraced by heavenly arms
cascades path of light
confluent with ocean's blue
God's wondrous love shining through

Charisma~
My sweet friend -
this is exquisitely lovely.
The picture pales in comparison to your thoughts.
But it is lovely in it's own right.

You are just so very good at this style.
It becomes you so.
So good to see your sweet self here !

Charisma,
whenever I see a post with your name attached I know I will read something superb with the graphics to match. And your Tanks outshine them all.
