Ice slows your flow to a trickle
Still you pour forth
Refusing this day and every other to be held back
Determined
Earnest
Filled with need to blend with life

This is a muscular yearning
A deep restless longing
A hunger that gnaws it’s way through winter
A known but unfound source
Spurs the disturbed soul to sing
A whispered and half forgotten tune strung out over a pale blue January sky

Nature’s song
Filled with the forgotten scents and sounds of warmth
Apple blossom and hum of bee
Sea spray and gull’s cry
The thigh's rustle against ripening wheat
How it completely arouses ~ possesses

*Oh! To fully kiss Life upon its lips
And with trembling arms, fully embrace it
