The Clouds’ Desire Clouds desire the world today; they hover gently lower, lower, as careful as a lover’s hand, longing to touch our meadow, fold them warm around the curves of it, glide slowly into all its secret places, touching, touching everywhere until it glistens moist and ready, until the flowers open wet, trembling with the touch.

Okay.... *G* I never knew something as full of moisture as a cloud could leave my mouth dry and parched. LOL Guess I'll have to blame my jaws hanging open and gasping for breath, right? LOL Beautiful, sensual write! *S* |

You must be from Oregon!  Excellent write...If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Awesome! Great write, this goes into my private library I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |
