Dancing When the Song Ends

To turn slowly turn,
                    
     hold the wind for fleeting moments,

turn around to see you swaying ever gently in the breeze,

to know just to know,

        by a squint in your eye,

or a line upon your face that creases when you smile,

      that love is something often best not put into words.

I've really been enjoying your story your characters and storytelling are fantastic. Honestly, I think it would work incredibly well as a manga or webtoon and could help you reach an even bigger audience. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il: [email protected] inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
