A Treasured Collection

I look for you here, there, and everywhere; not because you are lost, but because I want to touch and hold you, to know that you are safe I look for you all the time, and if I cannot ascertain where you are, my heart will hop, leap, or skip, and I'll find you still in my thoughts. I think of our many years together, and find you in my memories. That day in the park; those walks around the fountain; ocean side fire I often discover you close-up, on the outskirts of my mind. But revelations of you in such domains are limited at best. Not quite satisfied, I continue my search for the deeper you. At last, beautiful portraits appear in a most treasured book. "Oh, what a great find!", I said to myself. "I shall create sets of you". So I created the multi-facitted, many dimensional lady of my heart. There were numerous poses of you, all so breathtakingly beautiful. So beautiful, that it was very challenging to produce a complete set. The words accompanying the poses were so distinctive and impeccable. I could not choose them all; so I selected the number of completion. Yes, I chose seven poses of you from those treasured pages. The first was a standing pose of one filled with capability. I beheld a stunning portrait of a very prudent investor. I was struck by the sight of one so strikingly confident. There was a sitting pose of an intelligent business woman. There was the dignified lady glowing in energy and strength. Like magnet, I was drawn toward the pose of a God fearing woman. Lastly, I beheld one so indelibly deserving of appreciation and respect. 12052015PSContest, Anthology Series, Geraldine Taylor Inspired byProverbs 31(The Bible)P-HM

Hi, Elizabeth. So kind are your comments. I had not read this in a while. I needed to, today. Thank you, my friend. Have a nice day and a Happy New Year.
