At the Peak |

Conversation climbed, hung on cliffs at times. In those dangling moments, two minds intertwined. The mountain slope got steeper and when she thought she’d fall, He dropped a pun for her to grab and lifted up her soul. As she reached the words she sought and put them into place, It felt as if she’d dreamed a spot where lovers often grace. A broadened smile beamed back at her there at mountain’s peak. There was no more a need for words, no more a need to speak. |

smiling wide... I'd always thought a great conversation was like finding a tango partner... I enjoyed your take on it tho, as sometimes, it's more of a climb than a dance. *laughing* and hugs jo jo Enjoyed |

Just as mountains are built on layers, so is this poem, and its intent... Excellent job, Jo, and serenity's comment on on target, too! |

When words dance like this and minds intertwine, suddenly there is the perception of such perfect harmony that we stop in awe. Wonderful write, dear Jo. Love, Margherita |

Brilliant. Hanging in, seems tough and then a word seems more than enough. Dave |
