Even as flames engulf the garden, licking the delicious fruits from their hammocks in the trees, as it warms the roots and threatens to reveal the secrets to the breathe thy hear about but never experience, even as they send shivers down the spine of a trunk that has traveled to divine love and back, without moving a twig, there is a subtleness to her fury. A gentleness in touch and embrace. A love that stems from eliminating certain pathways to enlighten the next. Gratitude can be destructions nickname when the ruins eventually come of age.

I saw her beauty, her red flowered love mirrored in the eyes of fear then showered in compassion from above in the waves, in the fury on the sands, in between the clenched teeth, and knuckles pulled tight in hand Stars aligned with nothing else to say breathe in, hold, breathe out, stay in this moment as gratitude’s chord resonates More at: http://brendenpettingill.com/index.php/2017/03/31/this-is-a-perfect-world/
