Breathing Fresh Air..

Edward Hopper, 1922 

















We meet in the city for lunch
celebrating another book deal
I look into your soulful  eyes
I need to see you..

Your eyes sparkle with delight
piano man playing soft music
I listen attentively to your words
I need to hear you..

Whispering , I've missed you
big  city has lost its glimmer
I inhale your woodsy aroma
I need to smell you..

Let us escape these city walls
drive into green countryside
I long to kiss your soft lips
I need to taste you...

Under a willow tree we meet
relinquishing all restraints
we reach for each other
we need to touch..
sensing love..

    The need to succeed will never be as strong as the need to be loved.

      Love is a strong emotion but, so is the desire for success to some..

    sounds like a fun little escape...and to escape with the one you love,
    def well worth it...the smell of the woods and mountains can be quite alluring...

    Out of the stone and hussle and bussle, off to the green beneath a willow tree, where two can sway with glee. Sounds great to me.

    I love how the senses link each stanza, all tied together with the phrase, 'sensing love'. Neatly done and very satisfying.

    Fresh air and a willow tree
    Is all we need to be
    Aware of who we are
    To heal our worldly scar
