Excerpt of a Day Sun entered herself between blinding night-dream moments, giving up to all who might awake her morning, quietly ~ after a windy, unforgiving night that kept tapping the window; now only a difference being light instead of a grey dawn welcome, welcome you, late spring. ~*~ Eyesight focuses slowly; now please, be a dear, acknowledge age, old woman; give a moment a moment & go ahead, use your glasses; peer into some cloudscape before time… wait, and perhaps some youth may return… ~*~ Interruptions of pleasure, reading, knowing that a brilliance might have sprung a good spring of words [although] irritating sounds collide with peaceful breathing deep, so, pull on a robe, hide yourself, give no initiation of imitation of love. ~*~ Step quiet through momentum; dip lightly into deeds; do, and do again; and then do some more; be melodically truthful to some semblance of marriage and then do not speak; ‘tis forbidden ~ any semblance of welfare or thought so often trampled… just do. Yes, Just an “I do”. ~*~ I know love. ~*~ Unconditional, creative, giving… I know love. ~*~ Heart’s beat, warmth, wellspring…well, a spring, sprung… I know love. ~*~ In the excerpt of a day, I know love. ~*~ I breathe, and smile, unconditionally. This Love, to me, is. ~*~ [Thoughts after tears after Bridges of Madison County] |

smile...now I'm wanting to walk through EVERYBODY'S shoes for a day. "Bridges" was one of the most moving love stories, I think, because every woman and a lot of men could relate. beautiful! Now, we have mine, Susan Caldwell's...so um, I say make it a challenge yes? Thanks for the peek into your genteel shoes.  |
