Visiting unsafe places
At dawn
Creatures lurking
Yes, just right there
I’ve found a bridge
It’s been put there as a sign
I should walk across it
Leave the rest behind
Nervous
Today, I won’t allow fate’s misdirection
I see green, it surrounds
Proof you’re here somewhere
Hoping you’ll find me
You saved me once before
With your words so loud and with flare.
When you write of love and devotion,
This lady understands wholeheartedly.
I love you
I used to believe it was my mind,
doing amazing deeds for you.
This morning clarity allows me,
Quietly,
to agree it is your words,
which have changed me.
Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister 
Awesome Audrey. I totally understand.

Thank you, Duketh. You go straight to my jugular, Duke. *laughs* My first answer is always God, because he is in much of what I write. My second is a bit more creatively driven, bits and pieces..well,…you hot, Duke? Open a window…

I like the first answer lots! Not hot at all! It rains too much here. And I’m cranky about it.
LikeLike
I like that about you, Duke. Raining here too…makes me calm. I don’t mind it for a few days. Then I must get out. You cranky would make me smile, I think.
LikeLike
Yes, and maybe me! Rain’s awesome when one’s trying to sleep. But I need sun.

Maybe you, what? Sun is good, I agree.

Well, I figured it would be good to see how long you could tread water, since you can’t swim. *worries you won’t notice that you can stand up and touch the bottom*

Haha! I won’t notice. Let’s see how long. Used to holding from blowing all the time.

What kind of cheese do you like, Duketh?
I like gouda cheese the best on a sandwich.

Now it’s a wonder that Mr. Charlie Slug would like cheese. Let him have it.
I like gouda. Usually a white cheese is my favorite.

White sharp cheddar is nice. Now I’m hungry.
