A light fog drifted lazily landward. Hugging the warm earth as a loon called across the bay.... It was this time when he found the treasures of his gift. This time when thoughts lingered on a love that once tickled his fancy....This time when lips brushed lightly and eyes gleamed brightly and golden embers popped and soared into the night skies. She had known his wants, his dreams, his deepest desires. And she had found pleasure in the mystique of memorable moments now but another ember in a bed of coals. The soft chime of a mahogany clock stirred the still hand that lightly held a worn pen, the ink within, wanting to come forth and father another poetic child. A child born from meteor trails, comet tails and constellations that dotted a night sky... For it was the night that brought her to him and the smell of her skin fueled the fires of his passionate words as the mists whispered softly in his mind’s ear. |

I had a moment to sneak back for another...no sooner read than the little one began crying with a boo boo toe. At least I was able to sink into the beauty of this treasure, albeit briefly. This is lovely, Barry. You know I think you are amazing! Pat |
