Vessel Of Affection


you were not
the first to love me
but I pray
you be the last
there is something
solid and clear
in glass
as sand is cast
a bubble expands
with inspire
started with cold
then hot from fire
when heat
and inspiration combine
reflective rainbows
cling within that shine
a crystal heart
worn within
contained to fill
again and again

lovely metaphor of the bubble in the glass

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I love the construction of love you portray in this. Fragile, yet enduring. NICE!!!!

Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!?

Seems clear to me. Nice work.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Wonderful Helen!! Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
