Line of inquiry: .................... “being mistook we burnt the book thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest touched by spirit, our body shook by God’s light blest as we undressed” – Unseeking Seeker .............................. that day in December I remember— I sucked on my soaked tucked-in socks When I saw you–with a neat pack of straw on your back. I beckoned to you— you came but my words, you reckoned with— with shame ten years on, then our paths c + r + o + s + s + e + d again— your love became my greatest gain that time your heart clicked with my chat trick— we became friends who ruled the trends our detractors g . u . t . t . e . d our foes d . i . s . g . u . s . t . e . d we married— our love marred their pride and plots now twenty-two years and our love is still p l e n t i f u l— with two b r i g h t children too~ who make our joy b o u n t i f u l our haters lie shattered in s ~ m ~ i ~ t ~ h ~ e ~ r ~ e ~ e ~ n ~ s and our range of friends has changed over time even better for our horse more than us, it has m.e.t.a.m.o.r.p.h.o.s.e.d— from a nosey friend to now a noisy one its sorrow unraveled each time we traveled when it grew thin, with few things to eat we have t.r.a.n.s.f.o.r.m.e.d through many love s.e.a.s.o.n.s for many r.e.a.s.o.n.s— that sculpted us into better lovers we are now two jolly fellows who follow love's dictates— and we are, today b-e-t-t-e-r for it.
