When the Mood Is Velvet


when the mood is velvet
and the feel is pearl
when the touch is longing
and the moment fleeting
the depths of darkness enfold
and passions with palette be they told.

when the hour calls to the heart
and the soul echoes a refrain
when the Muse is newly beckoned
and the breath so deeply felt
the splendors of light enfold
and passions with palette be they told.

Theanne, It has been said that time is moving at a more rapid rate... it feels almost surreal. I deeply feel your words, "my time with Don went by so fast...life goes by fast..." Much much love on to you ...
