Within


drowning
I found a liquid language
in conversation
and poured myself freely
letters turned to words
and it was there
I lost my heart
to a friendship held
tenderly in constant
where your air stirs me
in it I breathe
lifting me straight up
and settles beneath my skin
do I deserve this love
no, but I know it within


“all romantics meet the same fate”…Joni Mitchell

Helen, your words continue to give me shivers.
hugs, Chris

Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration is being wreathed in smiles ~
