Planet fields and paved roads
off soar heels
Love breaded the joys and pain
to whence a beautiful man and woman

Then love walks by and waters me

I feel the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the shade
The warmth of your hugs and the shade of your protection
I’m no longer afraid to come… Continue
