My playground, my mirror, my vision
My gift, my offering , my contribution

I seek what is true.
The moon shines through,
And with clarity I see you.
In the dark there's no pretense.
Nothing placed and nothing planned.
Just thoughts on paper.
A hand gripping sand.
The flow...

Soul Mates
Arranging your words so that they make sense. Hope none of its said under false pretence. I open the window so I can breathe. Build my wall so you can’t hear my heart beat,
