As we walk through the iron gate,
hinged on the brick fence of glazed tile,
I find the glow of sun in your cheek
and the soul of garden nymph in your eyes.
New cotton lace shades your tan arms
and covers your shoulders as a rose trellis shawl,
You skip in the grasses’ dew with bare sculptured feet
held in silver latchet sandals.
We say nothing, hold finger to lips, without sound pass the sleeping hound.
Not a word is spoken as we fade into the latticed alcove.
Alone, embraced and chilled by the cool breeze and blown ocean mist
We whisper of each other’s dreams.DSS

Delightful!
I like the surreal feeling, like a walk either towards death or a new life…
This is serenity at its best!
@murisopsis - This is a little different for me but I heard a couple phrases this week that stuck in my mind. “rose trellis shawl” is so very descriptive.
@heart_beep - It is! I want to find that place! lol!
