Mixed media collage on paper

2001

 

Tracing back along the red ribbon

to the central force, safely hidden,

when our thoughts were entwined

and your rhythm began mine.

Silently feeling in the warmth

a pure love, a real love,

a calm we're all seeking to repeat

that incredible still and comfort

as if life were complete

just at the very beginning...
