Your icy chill
creeps up under
the back of my shirt
and down my left arm.

It pains every bone
in my left foot
and curls around my left ankle
and calf,
you don’t know the half
of the aching you bring.

I could sing
if it didn’t sting
so sharply
as to shiver my innards
beyond serenity’s calm
far beyond
a summer kiss at dawn.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Such sadness and angst fills these words, sweet friend, I hope this doesn't apply to you now, for we all wish the warmth of spring to blossom in your heart and warm your body with life's marrow and renewal! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, your words are fabulous! We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It applies to how I was feeling before I turned up the heat another notch. The cold outside became abrupt in its intrusion via the wind that seemed to find its way through all the crevices. Yet, the feeling certainly works for the angst of an ending or very rocky relationship. Yes?!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
