so close; the arc of trees and stone
nest into you,
holding the walls of your smaller body
all the while, cradling the sky
shadow and light flower in a radius of hope
while tiny doorways
cause one to bow
to the quiet gathering of soul.
a chapel in a corn field,
a pearl in the open palm of believing,
a small knot hole in an ancient doorway.
who can resist knelling to the passage of time?
one candle shimmering
comfort
in the darkest chamber of every heart.
a reminder that every word spoken lasts forever, every flower
a chance to gather
in the quickening light.

I do hope your words are collected
in a book of hours,
so that we may visit them and ponder
the light and treasures therein,
my love!?
Hugs x

Just beautiful. I will now take one single candle and take it to Chorizo's garden where it's hidden by leaning trees, flowering bushes and other. Thank you for and I agree with Susan. Welcome back Rebecca. Take care and enjoy the day.

The door
The knot hole
The flickering light
Inviting
Alluring

Oh Rebecca, so mesmerizing the arches and your words, the feeling of looking up to the sky. I can't wait to be there with you in October. You are my dream maker.
