I like
Watching you think . .  .
Giving those cells of yours
Value

In harsh light
Pondering a poem
Those of your face
Suffused with years of thinking
Soften the glare

Because
In bed
Naked as crabs
Outside our shells . . .
I like that it takes
Such simple keys

To open a world
Where the sky is blue

And roses
Bloom all year

Poignantly beautiful.

And how I love the ending! Went to a park the other day and took an infinite number of pictures of the blooming roses. To enjoy forever ...

And ... may we never stop to think, indeed!

I confess that sometimes I feel like you are rather stingy with your words, only because I would prefer more of them. And just when I have accepted that as your style, you present us with this...

This is not only completely beautiful, it's beautifully complete.

There is tenderness in this, and it looks very good on you John.
