Flaming Sunset Now Live On HotelMasticadores

Photograph by Joni Caggiano – Sunset in Virginia

touch my skin through silk, as air-born feathers

malleable to your tender strokes, I close my eyes

release me, take me from my bone-thin ancient tethers

 

space disappears, my beloved refuge, pursue me

assimilate my soul, as a window weeper whose pain

is tainted by my clarity of the indignant power of the sea

      Thank you Nigel, boy do you ever have a day you can sleep in a little bit? I am so glad I don’t have to get up at five anymore. I did that for so many years, and I enjoy sleeping in the morning. Big hugs and love coming your way from Scott and I. ❤️

        Lol,. Come to think of it.. I don’t. I guess I can do that everyday, but then I won’t get to write blessings to the both of you my dear. 🤗

        So true! By the way, I am excited that you will be back with Eliza tomorrow yea!!! Scott went to run an errand he is going to read your piece when he returns. We both love that story in the bible and you have done a great job with it here my friend. 🤗

        Yea, it was a doozy, Scott has already read the last part of the previous post, and we had that WOW factor already but had it again. Now we have read the new one and commented already. Wild ride, love it!
