You’re always fluttering around.
I watch you, scared you might fall.
I want to lead you to the right song, to the right flowerbed.
Instead I spin in the air. My form lost among the pines.
The light I had to lead us home, long since gone.
Should we follow the glow of the moon?
Sing to the wind? Give it a few days to answer.
Perhaps I should leave my heart in a wicker basket.
Cover myself in morning dew.
Abandon the very thought of you.
-Tosha Michelle
Oh, I love this… and that picture is perfect… beautiful.

I really like this one.
The end thought, it would save a lot of energy. I must be getting old, if I find myself getting amuined to the pain.

Tosha, another poem that speaks to my essence. The vulnerability of love that we want to both have and to forget. ❤️ Tiffany

Yes. I think we’re just so vulnerable at certain stages and can lead to fear. Do we hold on and risk heartache or walk away with our emotions semi in check?

Interesting that I had such a choice this week…and decided either way can lead to heartache, so I’ve chosen to take the risk. Reminds me of an Anaïs Nin quote. ❤️🌹

Bonjour mon amie TOSHA
Tu remplis mes jours de joie
Le matin à mon réveil , tu seras présent au cours de ma journée
Belle Amitié entre nous , tu ouvres mon cœur
Tu me donnes ce que j’ai envie par tes petits messages
Des fois je souries quand je suis mélancolique
Bises passe une belle journée
Bernard
Profite de ton week-end et de la semaine à venir
