Before dawn
we have come to fish the depths
for salmon

By the glow
of a carried lantern
we find our way along the shore

Wearing old clothes against the cold
we appear a couple
of many years

The sun’s
first
pink light
reflects on silent water

I watch my woman—
cast her line
into the sea

A beautiful scene. And though you appear a couple "of many years", there is the pleasure to watch her ...

Love, Margherita

Feel like I'm watching a silent movie.  You're good at pulling out the pictures.  ....jo

Oh here it is! I saw this a couple of days ago but something took me away from the forums and I couldn't respond.

I still think the same: It's a beautiful thing to say and a beautiful way to say it.

Such a lovely word painting to ponder.  You said so much so gently. Like the gentleness and kindness expressed here, the enduring face of love.
