Love's Charge Before Retreat |

Like the dove soaring far and high in watch with an eagle of eye as the heart reaches out to grasp a hand, a soul, a mind in clasp Like the fawn in still of soft lie among the grass flowing most high From the call of the lion in wait to the sound of still closing gate On the wings of a dragon’s flight circling stars in the still of night Soaring over land ever green reflecting a gold hue and sheen From sun to distant shine of moon the echoed call of crying loon steps in sand among dunes of sea side by side as shadows two be The sign of words that give the fire the heat and passions of love’s desire A gasp, a kiss of shuddered feel of two in now of this when real As whispers say of song once sung among the ring of bells in rung Two entwined hearts will softly beat the sound of charge and not retreat.

Magnus darling boy this is truly stunning writing. Always your words flow with hearts sighs, your voice floats through the starry skies like angels breath. And this not just soft whispers on the edge of night but it’s purely beautiful I truly believe this is one of your best utterly utterly perfect Absolutely excellent work The sign of words that give the fire the heat and passions of love’s desire A gasp, a kiss of shuddered feel of two in now of this when real As whispers say of song once sung among the ring of bells in rung Two entwined hearts will softly beat the sound of charge and not retreat. You KNOW I utterly utterly love it, how do you do it time after time, well, however simply don’t stop. I love it Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Mushy, darling girl.... Rest my wench, for time is nigh to take my leave, to say goodbye Thy chamber above in duty keep as thy lie in wait of deep sleep See what you made me do...... Thanx Mushy!! |
