Wonder

How your dark lashes veil a sure and tested sounding
And, how loon crying, echoes the call of dawn on Okanagan Lake.

How a breath of Claire’s freshly washed hair somehow expands my lungs
And, how my lips feel, against your unshaven cheek.

How the backyard lilac opening, diffuses a heady spring
And, summer breaks, under my tongue, with chocolate bits of a dipped DQ cone.

And the way I feel,
stepping wet from the shower, into your waiting eyes.

The imagery and emotion are breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful!! I agree with Judith, these are "lines to be savored."

i love how you express your appreciation/experience of little but special things in life. that last phrase is very special... "into your waiting eyes".

lines to be savored, bit by bit repetitively.
Wonderful imagery and accompanying image as well.
