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

Oh, I like this. Always love how your poems say so much by leaving so much unsaid. Sparse but rich. So nice :)

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!
