How could you be so knowing, so confident, the moment we said hello? There is so much to discover, taking more than the blink of an eye to be familiar. You have this feeling, deep inside your soul. It reaches out to mine, softly confiding, covering my misgivings with a blanket of love, heating that place that was once cold.
Your gentle heart speaks passionate prose
The innocence of truth and divine beauty
Unfolding, right before my very eyes
It is exquisite. I breathe.
I'll splash some love on you, if you will have it. Let it spread with the winds of the north and flow with the rivers of the south. Beautiful in this moment, for your love has been expressed through the words that caress my very soul. You have gently nudged my senses with the magic of your words.I cannot express in words how it feels to hear the passionate words, whispered as I am drifting off into the dark of the night, a quiet peace surrounding my soul.
Without the admission of refinement, I have to wonder why I still keep that memory. Forever gone, in the deepest sense of the word,forever into the winds of time.
Life is made up of all these beautiful moments we had, strung together to make our story. Sometimes a voice calls out in the dark, reminding me of my yesterdays in time. I kiss them au revoir, and roll over into the bliss of the shadows.
Christmas is coming, you never thought I would get there! I promised I would try to remember to post one Christmas picture each time I posted. Just to keep the count going, there are 33 days 00 hours 05 minutes, and 16 seconds.
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
There were flowers today, as always. #alwaysaflower Just for you. and you and you... And just like that, this post is over. Come back tomorrow and we'll do it again! Have an amazing day!
How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Curious... when your writing, do you have your husband in mind?

I think of Bocelli. He has all the words!
And when I dream the words are missing
Yes, I know that in a room so full of light
That all the light is missing
But I don't see you with me, with me
Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room
Through the door you've opened
Close inside of me the light you see
That you met in the darkness
Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone?
Without true light of my own with you
I will go on ships overseas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
It's time to say goodbye
...
Very touching. 💖 I thought you said you couldnt write?
Hehehe... those are words to the song "Time to say Goodbye", a duet by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman!
I know that silly girl! I went on an Italian cruise line and every time we left Port they sang that song really loud as we are leaving. And I love Andrea Bocelli! I was ripping you because you didn't Source it!
Very touching work.
Been a while I stopped by. Thanks for you are a constant source of inspiration.
Thank you. Very kind words. Have a great week ahead!
You too
Great poem...
This totally threw me for a second cause I was imagining a whole different space 😀
Im taking it out. It was a last minute thought!
Noooo, no need, it's your creation! Raw creation is best 😀
Wow such a stellar post! The photos are great but the words are so much more so. Your muse has clearly taken you to a higher place and it has really burst forth in your prose. Quite inspiring to watch!
Oh, you know I don't need a muse to do that. ;) I'm pretty sure I can just listen to some Bocelli or even a bit of my fave, Ed Sheeran. Hmmmm. Could be my muse.
I stand corrected.
Tsk tsk. Poor Pavi. Dropped like a hot potato. Le sigh.
But...But... he is only a memory. I cannot use a memory for a memory, can I? Pavi will always be my #1.
He is even bigger than life in person. Errr was.
Oh no no no. You cant fool me. He didnt make the list and was the furthest from your mind. Pfft women are so fickle! 😝
It's our job. I have no problem with that.
If i have something beautiful like those flowers then i am most desired person to caress the word 'hello' to me with complete sense of purity.
Well, that sounds like you would be just the same as this person. Flowers can do that to you. :)
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words.
Have a great day ahead!
Beautifully written! :)
Thank you very much! Have a great day ahead!
Beautiful text interspersed with even more beautiful photos. Lovely piece, thank you. Have a great start to the new week and enjoy the Christmas countdown! :)

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words. always. You always say the nicest things. Your parents taught you well. :) My mother: "Say the nicest thing you can, always remember that." It has helped me through life. No lies, but, do the best you can. :) I joke, but, there is much truth in that. One of the reasons you are well-liked.
It is a great start to the new week, sunshine and considerably warmer than usual. I think that will go away tomorrow.
Christmas is coming!!! Thanksgiving week is here!

Very nice, and very emotional. The emotion really comes through to me.
I wish I had more to say than just great work, but sometimes there are no words I suppose.
I have to agree with you one that one. Sometimes, I can like something, even like it a lot, but, the words won't come. I think there is room in here for that as well.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such an awesome response. I truly love it. Have an awesome day!
Such exquisite shots and beautiful prose to go with them
33 days to go, no need for me to start panicking yet LOL
Haha! Just remember that you aren't in New York City anymore and the gift isn't always around the corner! :)
You have plenty of time. Wait! Does Lulu need another lens? 😮
Lol that’s a very good point
I did think of another lens gir Lulu but that wouldn’t go down well 😂
Are you sure? They have some really nice ones! Kidding, of course! I know you have something thoughtful in mind.
To be honest I still have no idea what to get her this year I have been thinking fir weeks but I know something will come to mind in time
A nice set of earrings.
I got her that last year so will have to come up with something different
Stunning flower photography ❤️ love the tones.

Life is moment by moment day by day, year by year and if only I have the power to pause, to hang onto all that is beautiful and good. I am not fearful of leaving this world when the time is right but I just want to hang onto my happiness with my loves I am so privileged to have.
Only 33 days until Christmas Day Denise? Oh my gosh! 🎄
I agree this is only a stop in the big scheme of things, and I am grateful for every day I get.
It is a definite privilege.
Only 32 DAYS now!
I love this beautiful flower @dswigle
