         temptation


                                   time
can be
                     place
  
     place              time
  
          as     stems
   tremble
                            toward
         the
               touch
  
    one
            yellow
                          trumpet
                                      flower
                               bending
                     bending
             down
            to            the
        rose                so
        pink              stiff
                         toward
                       the
                touch
           the  
                    touch
    
            as we
                   tremble
          toward
       the
                     touch
      that
                  cannot
             be

Your spacing is "just enough"
to make the stem of the flower
tremble in anticipation...

it must be nice to have flowers
where you are...

we are bare and naked, now...
winter shivered the last of the leaves away...

Time is so hard sometimes, or soft...it likes to play with us I think...we think we can bend it to our will, but we can only be, within it.

This is incredibly lovely. *S* Alone, without formatting, your words are beautiful... but... with an artist's touch, you give us a presentation that's visual magic.... I felt myself leaning as I read... as if that would help the blossoms conquer those last few millimeters. *S*

Beautiful work! *S*
