Arising

on the edges
of my mind
you rise
blushed in thoughts
like eastern skies

your breath
whispers in sighs
against flesh
like this wind

suddenly
january's air
seems less
bitter

Sandra, I made it a point to visit your work today as I have become fond of your style. And just look at this beauty! I remember being in love in New Jersey winters. If we were embracing, the temperature outside didn't matter. I can relate to your last stanza. Keep up the excellent writing! Hugs, Carolyn

This one warmed my heart a bit, and helped me see January as less of an enemy, more of an opportunity.

It does feel good when just the thought of someone warms our heart and soul and brings a bit of spring to the cold winter months. Sigh ~ another incredible piece of writing.

Thank you so much Chris...thoughts of someone special can warm us from the inside out...perhaps only temporarily but any warmth in the brutal winter months is welcomed... :) hugs
