"I want to tell you a gentlest thing
like light to you,
like old faces being fed a good memory
from inside themselves,
like eyes that do not watch
but slowly meet across a room
in which everyone is
and no one need hurry
to what he is sure of.
I want to say
before we run out of rooms and everyone
that
I am slowest, surest,
gentlest too
across whatever room
I look at you."

You have the most wonderful photos! I love visiting your blog.
caren, thank you for your compliment but I cannot take credit for most of the photographs I post. They are photos that I like too. Thank you for visiting my blog.
For once I am glad that I got behind on my blog reading! What an amazing treat to follow your love entries in one sitting just now! Love this last one especially, and the story of you and your husband. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day, Barb!
Lovely, just lovely! menehune
