Love is Patient, Love is Kind

And the wildflowersriseto speak. Maybe everythingspeaks to everything,simply by presence. Harmony is silence,and soundeven from the dark. And the blend,and presence again,again, and again.

"Size of a Soul" - Nthanda Review
Summer
You’re free.
We see how you land gentlyupon fence post,some kind of lovely beast.
Feathers settle to your sidesand rest as ifweather’s stride will await your flight.
Fly, we all know you will.Heat will ignite those feet.Wings are made for the sky.
But for a moment, we watch youand wonderhow long you will stay
so gracefully still.
