Question of Distance There are leaves in his voice crinkled from a long fall mixed in with questions of distance in between a breath of smile turns like a piece of cool melon in summer slipped perfectly between the teeth a comfortable turn of head to handsome on the sweet side of listening his laughter rings familiar still I feel the trees between us tall and reproachful standing beside streets and far in the distance sand coats the driveway perhaps and a volleyball sits neglected beside the door and more a piece to learn I hum his heart to hear the tune so touched by the hands that hold mine just those and a sweep of heady rush |

Yeah, maybe that's the word -- dance. Never read one that wasn't simply electrifying. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

and more a piece to learn I hum his heart to hear the tune so touched by the hands that hold mine just those and a sweep of heady rush The distance sweeps across the heart and takes it further than it was before. If only we could stop the world and stay right there. Beautiful Martie~ |

Just looking in the archives today, and finding such beauty here. This one almost brings tears, it is so poignant. I've read others without answering today, but I think I'll lift this one to the top where it belongs. |
