Becoming Friends

When I think of you, a night sky, Etching bold scribbles in July That trickle and rap on my window A bluish-white Craig of sea, That beckoned my eyes to feel the dew And in your river's wide flow, New friendship ambles and rides a halo. Searching the essence in moon’s follies Amidst a current of reasons, You become a fluid stallion. When I think of you, I recall First coming to the Soup last fall And befriending your every turn An inspiration from a walk to a waltz, Then dance and soar, and sing As you flew on iridescent wings. Then, with a brush of gypsy- Nette’s pen; Landing on the highest branch, Against the dark of a night sky You become a sapphire butterfly. For Tracie Edwards' When I Think of You Contest Collab of nette onclaud and Craig Cornish
