This is after reading a sonnet by Edna St. Vincent Millay..It is about growing older and love becoming a comfortable love..Sara
Within my breast still boils like summer clouds Passion and longing_ desire to be held Like one afraid of summer's thundercloud Feeling secure, warm, loved to his body weld What happened to that flame; did glacier flow Icing even small ember tucked away? When did the last bit of scented smoke blow? Love on different plane now exsist everyday The new rose on the trellis grows pale buds Soon to flower mature_ then loss of power Sad plight each goes full circle fall with thud Passionate love with a thud soft flower Love's passion filled veins now clogged arteries Cleansing required maybe just bilberries

Wow, Sara, there is more to this behind each line, than at first glance...deeply complex I think, with many meanings. Well done.
