That it stunned us every time ...

 wordings in the lines of a book that openly appear
   well-worn images cleared 
along paths and byways out of stagnation,
 birth life experiences out of the shadows...

Premium Member But a Moment

tight to my chest
but with a concerned tenderness,
as if you are an infant
that I am shielding from a storm ...

then I would chase her around

Everywhere the lady goes, she steals rainbows.
