Whenever I'm with you,
the traffic lights make sense.
They seem to blink a message --
magenta, amber, cyan --
a secret code, if you will.
Especially late at night,
hanging lonely from their posts.

Can barely see the street sign
where we are. Within our warm car,
idling, waiting, readying, staging.

And that is what they say.

Man, oh man, I love the way you write! This one made me smile and nod in agreement. Ordinary things can be turned extraordinary, under the "right" circumstances. hugs, Chris

(smiles) For someone alone, a red light can be a heartache, but with someone, it is heaven to get to hear ones heart beat! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Thanks everyone. This is me peeking my head above a long, vast depression. The weather's not too bad.

the wonder that keeps stars apart-
