You’re hard to read; complicated, multi-faceted, with cavernous depths untapped by casual communication, blotted missive, dog-eared corners, obscure references to images buried in time and place, needing a good dusting, an Ephesian library.

You’re hard to read;
complicated,
multi-faceted,
with cavernous depths untapped
by casual communication,
blotted missive,
dog-eared corners,
obscure references to images
buried in time and place,
needing a good dusting, an
Ephesian library.
What hidden treatise
lurks within your leaves?

If only words could translate the heart…
You are so right!
Amen!
Meanwhile, Melody Muses...
