'revisit'

care
enough
to let go
just for a while
like a moth to a flame, he will return

The lure of he to the flame of she. Unification they'll be, like the moth so free. Their wings will flutter like hearts in flight, like a moth to the flame, enjoying ones delight. Have a terrific weekend Wilma....:) xx

I really like this form, just wrote one yesterday. Now as for your words tell a tale very familiar to me and most people I know. You have touching words but I do agree with p.d. 2 hours tops lol. Now how are doing my busy missing partner in crime? I take it work has been crazy for you too. I would love to have a week that I can just sit down and write. Me rambling go to sleep luv. Love from across the sea. Michael

If we really love someone, we have to give them their freedom. When love is true, they do return, Wilma. Profound tectractyl! Tomorrow night I leave for a fishing vacation and will be away for a week. Have a great time while I'm away. Love, Carolyn

I just bet that he (whoever HE is wink, wink I am pretending I know who HE is, wink wink) will be coming back to have his wings singed-- ouchy, all for the sake of missy flame, well worth it I think ;) reminds me of that story (legend?) of why moths are drawn by flames (err rather bright light) will tell it to you one time? oh gosh a bedtime story this in lieu of a lullaby?? haha! hugsmoi haha
