red brown henna paints our life story on your delicate hands art of your clay memorializes more than some might know thumb speaks of scrim covering a peaceful face a lost child hiding in the wind imagination brings out the dark hair, no longer gray somehow, the imprint of sparkle covets your eye and there at the sweet wrist matrices of found things whisper red memories to wipe on lips your creation from dust to clay, tender endowment of love's caress rims the lines of your sweet palm that the child finds herself again... so that when you find me again, waiting for red henna to paint our life story I shall arise and murmur things that only the wind shall hear. |

Well there was no doubt in my mind that I would adore this, and I was correct...I did, and I do. Ladies, take a bow. Lovely dueting from two of my favorite dueters. Hugs ya'll. |

It was a lovely Sunday evening when the wind blew across my screen visions of red skies blowing dust, left behind, for a fingernail to sketch an imprint across planes with a friend for a duet... we'll do it again soon, yes? Thank you, Kate! |

Dear friends, I feel you here, like hot mocha and cold beer...so refreshing to read two of my favorites poets together. (no no no...I didn't mean that you drink beer and mocha at the same time..LOL) |

Thank you all so much Moonkist... there is something so binding about henna painting so sister making and Martie mocha and beer may be exactly right... one sweet and warm... one cold and sharp...  |

Our thanks again, and another nod to The Lady...my muse has been quiet, but you inspired me. One day soon, I hope to duet again with you. |
