their words weigh heavy
I collapse under page quilts
warmed by writer's thoughts
my dreams are woven with theirs
chapters of author's toil, shared

Well Chris, what more could an author wish for? Nice...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
