Today
At the cabin in the woods
Surrounded in scents
Soft breezes
Songbird conversations
I struggled to understand
I understood
That today I want to hold you
To snuggle as long as you like
The touching that soothes separation
Till you feel safe again
To find the place by the spring
Where the tea berry leaves grow
And moss softens stone
Dappled in glow
Get to really know you again
And in the humming peace
In the moment of trust
sighing song of leaves
The ruby throat sat
to sip frenetic rest
Of billows of azalea
Forgive me all
The yesterdays
I forgot how much
I loved you

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
It is an awesome thing, when that friend is also your lover. Thank you for helping me remember the words to our love song. I forgot how much I loved you too. -

Marvellous ending to a tender missive. It moves beautifully down the page without a shudder. Best [imo] read out loud.

You create moments that tempt the senses,
with such enticing visuals, scents and sounds.
A most beautiful interlude...

What a fabulously lucky woman. Not only is she loved so deeply, but the man who loves her can write a symphony in words. You have captured something so wonderful here.
