The energy you imbued into this piece is phenomenal. From the worn and dirty to the joyful dancing fresh. You took us there and we felt part of it. Of hope

CRAVING DESTINY
“…… Our hearts and our minds
they’re one and the same
cause you are my kind.”
~~ Santana, featuring Seal (from the album “Shaman”)Long ago I came to see
how I needed you so;
how the gate and flow
of your textured red legs
would bend and go
on forever filling my mind
with world conquering adventure.

The Old Man at the Window and the Immortal Cats
April 8th arrives

I think your poem speaks to something very true Willow. There is a definite compression in the air in these times (and for many for a very long time before this).
