That yellow headed summer
when we drank time like coffee.
Wired and reckless, we abandoned
what was known, for what was not.
We peeled back layers and tore down veils.
Hidden in plain sight. . . we were illuminated.

Beautifully nostalgic.
Gorgeous and yes, free-feeling. Lucky you, to have this to draw from.

Thanks Matthew. :-)
Beautiful words, Susannah, to describe I feel what it is like to want to reveal, hesitant to do so, holding back and yet...it is there all along, Summer in it's glory. I really like this piece.
Thanks very much Renee. Good to see you. x
Yellow headed summer...
you packed a whole season into a few lines...laid the foundation, and let my imagination do the rest.
Exquisite!
Thanks Timotae. :-)
