My Proud The mountain rises and falls, large boulders dot the road and break in dots across the path, the roots of the Manzanita cling to the air, their coppery branches reaching, oak trees climb the ridge and below, the river is so clear you can see gold shimmer like dust under its riffle. My grown up child of green magic eyes, the one I twirled round the room with singing, "just like me, they long to be, close to you" and he just laughed, his blond head thrown back, watching the ceiling spin until the tumble of his energy took him folded on the couch. He, now so handsome and so sure in his new sleek black car taking the corners of view up into and over the top of dizzy ‘til we sweep the valley from the window and see the silver ocean slanting across the horizon Love is so boundless in this becoming that he is, and I so warm to think from my smile he took his lips and he curved them into gentleness that becomes him, for my proud circles around him and I know he must feel this treasure that his becoming gave to me. |

This is pure gold in great green eyes... and I thank you for it! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Would you be wantin to adopt an Irish cowboy my friend? This is a lovely piece from your heart but knowing the beauty of your heart and soul, I would have expected nothing less. No wonder I love your works and you at the same time my sweet dear friend. |

Your way with words always amazes and pleases me so much - I run out of words trying to tell you - could 'feel' you justifiable pride and love in every phrase |
