I know the word glorious
was created for a day such as this.

Where the breeze brushes against my skin
like the finest cashmere.

The air is scented with honeysuckle,
sweeter than any designer fragrance.

The sky is a shade of blue beyond description,
almost painful to gaze upon.

Clouds ride the currents like cotton candy
someone forgot to color.

I give thanks for my senses
which are reeling from the beauty

of this glorious day in May.

Cherly darling girl OH MY this is so amazing, a simply stunning example of your craft, I think it’s beautiful, the flow simply exquisite and the content is utterly utterly fabulous.

Stunning piece of writing from you, utterly outstanding, how smoothly this flows over my soul, like a crystal stream of light, bathing my eyes in delight and falling into me in pools of liquid Oh!

YOU know I really love this don’t you? Of course


Love and warm stuff
As always

Thank you, Noah, and this is one of those days where you know there is a God because nothing this spectacular could be happen-stance. Cheryl
