fruit of strength, a beauty,
the intendment.
enduring winter’s touch,
one’s arranged depletion,
should’ve changed her, did.
timber’s forbidden release,
her lifeline, clinging,
precious she will remain.

Oh, dear Audrey, please see what I see in you. Honey, you are such a Talent that whenever I read your work you make me “work” for understanding. And that is a sign of greatness when you do what you do. Now if you were writing a novel, that trait would not be too well accepted because a novel needs to flow. The writing you do, you play, you twist, you combine words, you come up with words I have never heard of, all leaving the reader with a thrill that OH this is SO different and unique!! *stepping down from the podium* Good night, my friend! (Smile) ❤

I’m thankful for you and your pushing me to see how unique I am. I think you’re a talented photographer and I’m constantly learning from you. The words I use are my focal point, so I’m glad they keep you invested in my creativity. My shy eyes are out…blushing terribly, so just…Thank you. ♡♡♡
