(The Sunday Muse #258) The Art Of Life


I find myself, longing to take your visual virginity away in these magical places I once roamed alone. Desiring to add my own paint to your memories with long brushstrokes along a tumultuous river hell bent to reach the sea. Or watching your pupils widen with our arrival upon a raging waterfall cascading deep into the churning waters below. Or becoming one, united in the pleasures and sensuality nature can bring in a soft meadow in the countryside. To see the reflection of a redwood tree that almost reaches the heavens in your eyes is a sight that gives me so many goosebumps they surely must be stacked 3 high. This new ecstasy, soaked in blessings, bubbling like champagne in my veins gives me something no one else has ever given. The gift of a timeliness now, unrushed and apprehension free as to what will come one day to end it, being able to fully live in this moment, fearlessly alive, I reach out and take your hand.

This is absolutely lovely Scott. Your words in themselves have painted a vision of what your now holds. Love has a way of longing to share the beauty of life with another, and these lines capture that beautifully! I also love the image you chose and how the open gate signified the freedom of living in the moment.
