I liked this, and it's very smart, graphical writing. Yeah, something like just a strand of hair, or the smell of hair can remind so much of someone.
Funny how the smallest things can capture someone perfectly.

That's a beautiful strand of poetry m'friend.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
(by Virginia Woolf)

You paint love well.  It's good to read your words again.   Excellent!   (I wrote a poem a few weeks ago in which the meaning was completed through a cross-stitch design and
unraveling lettered words.  When I placed it on the screen, everything was out of order, ruining the poem.  Would you be willing to e-mail me to tell me your secret of keeping the font in place as orginally positioned on the screen?)   Take care, JAF.

A few years ago we did a lot of "graphical" writing and it's been awhile since I've seen a really great one.

This is a really great one.

"my lips graze its nothingness and she is there"

The visual impact this makes is so powerful it takes a moment to realize that the words in their delicate beauty are even more powerful. *S* This is stunning, my friend... a strand of pure loving perfection.
