A task fell upon soft shoulders
to write the wind in flying flair.
To find those small pebbly boulders
that roll around and giggling dare.

The sounds that came and touched a quill
before the page could feel the write,
words written down at random will
into the dark of looming night.

They fell and flew, they whirled around,
they found a place for all to see.
Those thoughts that did so much astound
as he read lips delicately.

He saw and gasped a stifled cry
as wondrous lines did stream and flow.
He knew she could, he could rely
on what was writ just one could know.

And as the dawn did touch a lid
that spied the piece of written flair
a duet blossomed from their bid
and coursed the skies of comet’s air.

Where only the bold dare go....

Duetting Barry, I loved this, it made me think of a workshop between soulmates ... when hearts beat in unison and all is understood and created in full harmony.

Beautiful.

Love, Margherita
