His smile warms her face,
She blushes in return,
Basking in the light of His glow.
~~
He brushes away the wispy hairs
From her face, tucks them behind her ears.
He strokes her smooth skin,
Blowing His heat onto her neck.
To all her hurt parts,
He brings attention.
~~
She loves being loved by Him.
Learning to love the skin she is in.
Learning to be free from within.
Oh, look, another Great Blue Heron?!
~~
An ode to the sun and the wind, who both graced me with their presence this week as I took a topless Jeep road trip across state lines.
Most of the trip was breathtaking and a much needed reprieve from …most everything.
Realizing during this trip how much I still worry about my persona and being accepted by others. And an unexpected Great Blue Heron sighting 20 miles from Raleigh…seems to be my “squirrel!” in this poem.
Much love to you on your journey!

First thought in my coffee deprived brain… awesome, we’re close geographically.
Second…wait? in Raleigh!? No way!? I’m not sure everyone will understand the rarity of seeing a blue heron for you! Yes they’re here, but very uncommon! It’s magnificent!
I have to agree with you and your post here of late, it IS your ‘squirrel’ and possibly your tailsman!

Oh, wow re living close. Darn! I would loved to have met you. Re the heron, I was also surprised… Yes re talisman, I’ve seen 7 in less than a week now. Pretty powerful message for me. 🙂
Have a great day!

Yes! I believe it’s telling me that good things come to those who wait. Herons wait for their meals to come to them. This seems to be a strong theme for me. Maybe I’ll write about it soon!
