Love's Sentry

I have seen your wall
So delicate in place

Cool and rich as earth
Beneath my hand I trace

Adorn with shells and feathers
Rings intricate as lace

Short but very sweet-- very lovely as it captures a brief but meaningful moment in time. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, Maureen, and a prolific new year!
