Sanctuary

“Only lovers know the value and magnanimity of truth.” - Thoreau

All is right.

Tonight.

Fingers intertwine.

Moon beams a sign.

Two breaths become one.

Said and done.

So long to the past.

Candles and stained glass.

Walk near, fly far.

Champagne and caviar.

Gone are the tears.

Heaven stands up and cheers ...

This is one of my favorites of yours, even tho it's quite different from what I've come to think as "your style"! This feels much more floating & softly-stated . . . it reads more slowly like a whisper. I love that, but still with your fierce rhyme crafting and strong imagery. These kinds of moments become more rare as the years go by & I think I feel a bit of savoring . . . like you want this to last (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

wrote this very quickly one day on a whim. didn't think that much of it at the time. perhaps i overthink things. less emphasis on thinking, more on feeling is the recipe. thank you kindly ... :)
