The horizon glowed warm, bright, and orange
disappearing rays of light into an endless deep blue heaven
below was a vast endless cotton blanket
caressing the supple Alps, a far off shadow
in the distance.

Gently I descended softly into your arms
gracefully, like a hand brushing satin skin
skipping over the soft ripples
plunging gently into the vast ocean
of moist white clouds
like God's breath.

Five seconds in a breath of blindness
the fog of uncertainty and confusion
unknowing what lay below, how far the descent
a clouded mind, limited
by futile, enigmatic logic and reason.

Five seconds to touch, hanging suspended
in the winds of a depthless mist
we settled sweetly like faith to the myth
on the smoothest lips of land
nestled in the gentle breeze

caught with grace
in the peaceful palms
of your forgiving hands.

I read this three times, and it is beautifully written. Enjoyed your lovely words.

This reads like a scene from a classic romance movie/novel.
Your ending speaks volumes, forgiveness is a wonderful virtue.

Beautifully done, martini man~
