Layers

by Michael J Falotico

                                               layers of a heart..
                                   pealed back like fruit from a tree..
                                            deeper the sweeter..

How true. The deeper we reach into someone's heart, the more love we find. Beautiful senryu, Michael! Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend. Love, Carolyn
