July Emerges

__ twilight fading awaiting the starlit jewels of celebration resting in our favorite bed of poppies and emerald lace our imaginations soar of endless love songs as the gentle boughs break in a sultry summer breeze a tradition each Independence Day of warm silken linen aged wine and the rediscovering of each... twilight fading as the night awaits a promise, redeemed... __

It is now January, and I am willing to skip all those months in between to get right to July. I am so sick of the winter. Good write about July.

I really enjoyed the images, although I felt somewhat in the dark in terms of where I was and who was speaking. Still enjoyed it, though ;-)
