In their own words

Thank you.
Laurie

First LetterHallowed by your eyesMorning light calls forth fresh aweResplendent with love -Remembering our gazesChills then warms me with new lifeReply LetterArising from sleepThoughts fly to our first embraceHow we gazed then kissed -Will you return with me thereTo our soft private darkness?
First LetterThrough blown pink blossomsGusts untangling night secretsHard buds underfoot -Our fragrant dying still lifeFalling together in blissReply LetterKicking wind-ripped budsNever to bloom yet we kissedBlue starlight fading -Golden reverie awakesBeholds your splendor anew
