I live near the airport,
I heard your flight
like fluid
it started a stream

with a swoosh
it washed o'er my
apartmented soul
a lake of awaken'd dreams

In your absence
Love crawled
(not a reptile but child)
but it swelled as a sea
your descent

was a welcoming rain
to a flowering heart
would you know
what all of this meant?

Now a soft melody
in a minor key
but profundis
where music was void

to a suffering sailor
alone in life's sea
tis a ditty
and hope is kept buoyed

Very beautiful

Cold hands means a warm heart

I've seen the afterwake of a large plane
and the imagery you have left here
brought back many fluid
memories...

excellence in writing....

that's you.

Fluid write, very smooth.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

(sigh) Life is indeed an airplane terminal where so many things come and go from our lives, but one love will always come and never depart! (big hugggsssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richard, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
