Moist embraces, cloudbursts full of pauses, his lips on her skin and the strum of robust reeds swaying over undefiled pastures. As snowdrops triumph over winter’s reign, passion sprouted from their virgin bodies. A gust of guileless wind swept seeds born of desire over fertile prairies espying candid caresses. Cherry blossoms and songbirds reveled in youth’s enchantment. Even Earth’s allure was enhanced by the ardour of that once chaste, irretrievable Spring. By Psyche Copyright: Sylvia Evelyn, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2009. ·············· Mis temas favoritos The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
