She feels like a poem
covered in pearls,
lost in a meadow
or ocean of furls.

Taken down into soft sand
by sun wind and sea,
glinted by moon light
protected by trees.

Whistled by gypsies
with dancing  bare feet,
laughed into good humor
feeling so sweet.

Listen the poem
whose cadence is rich,
pull thread through her daydream
and take the first stitch.

reposted with love, for Karilea on her birthday

What a beautiful gesture and write and you know?

Not only did you describe Kari, but you taught me how to pull the sun from the winter sky.
