While sitting alone listening to a gentle rainfall, I filled my cup with passion fruit and my ears with mellifluous musical ecstasy, the harmony and cacophony of sweetly scented raindrops as they graciously fell, cleansing the earth. And I noticed the sparkling tiny rainbow dewdrops resting atop the thankful grasses. As I gazed out the window at a meandering yearling moose, traveling quietly through whispering willows, my thoughts suddenly soared on golden eagle wings to distant snow-capped peaks in the Rockies, where my muse of love lies hidden like a rare bird in a gilded cage, or a well-kept treasure chest in a secret cave. And while I am searching for that magical key to unlock this wondrous hidden gift, I start to wonder if it is the real treasure that lies inside, or the gifts of some Pandora's box in disguise. And I hesitate for a moment, fearful of what I might find. |

Temptress: Thanks...that was a really nice and generous reply. I tend to do best with nature imagery. Marge: Hugs back to you. Glad you read and enjoyed this one. RS Wells: Thanks for taking time to read and reply. The natural world keeps me 'grounded' and sane, especially when humans seem out of control. JM: Thanks for your encouragement and kind words. With help from Passions friends, my muse seems to be revealing herself more often. |

Wynter, thanks, and thanks for the quote you have "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II I agree completely. |

What a beautiful scene you paint here. Just lovely. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Gosh, Sven, I just might blush this time. Actually, I left out a line...there was a line in there in my first draft about tasting Passions fruitful words, but somehow, it didn't flow the way I wanted it to. Maybe next time. |

Tracey, thanks. It seems as if we all need a little more loving passion these days. And where to find it? Here at Passions. |
