Liquid Joy
The smell of her long washed hair purifies the air with almond and amberSo sweet it clings and burrows into the holes of their cabin in the thicketLike her softhearted soul embedded in compassion for all creaturesKindness rare like pearls that mermaids don on their blazing scarlet red hairEnergy that shines like starlight and sunlight … Continue reading Liquid Joy
