Light from the sun caresses a spider web.
Moving gently, it creates a prism of dancing light.
Black-capped chickadees pluck yellow moths from overgrown ivy.
Like vivid green lace, it creates the lifeline of the small screen porch.
Cycles of life are seen from our bed, awakening with the yellow-orange of sunrise.
Our nest is warm with notions and promises of intemperate love.
Long lashes enhance the emerald windows to your soul.
Your muscular torso leans over my naked face with childlike tenderness.
My big browns are sleepy.
You place feather-like brushes on my forehead and cheeks.
Tickling my young flesh, I ask, what you are doing?
You tell me they are a gift of butterfly kisses.
Tears open up well-used doors.
My weeping leaves trails of salty passion.
Shaking uncontrollably, you beg me not to cry.
Such a kindhearted utterance these ears have never heard.
Grasping this moment in my heart forever,
into a blue silken scarf
I lay your feathered kisses.
Just in case
I am dreaming.
What beautiful butterfly kisses 💕🦋

Oh thank you dearest closer than far one. You are so sweet, Happy Valentines Day to you. Thank you for your kind words. By the way I really loved the break exercises you did on your video. They are great. I am trying to do better with my stretching and moving. You are such a great example of good physical health. I can’t believe how you were able to bend your body up to that post. Amazing. You should really be proud of yourself. I bet your beautiful kids are very proud of their mom. Thank you for your sweet words I feel like you are a beautiful piece of sunshine inside and out. You absolutely glow. Sending big hugs and love to you. You are my new action hero. I was just really doing my biking at night but it isn’t enough. Thanks for motivating us. 😘💕🤗❤️🦋🦋 love you Cindy, Joni
