The pureness of my reflection

Just words

                           The pureness of my reflection

Once we had the moon, the sun and the free road.
You were my footprints into wild waters and secret places upon mountain where the clouds
danced with us.

Together we fell into the carousel of wild sea.
Suicide boarding the California Winter storm than
healing body and soul together in deep thoughts and tender embrace into deep nights.

We invented new places and journey. Free-climbing high into private hills and mountains.
I remember you dancing nude by the secret waterfalls. You blessed my vision and the sun.

Today you have become my moon, my sun and my wild river.
The pureness of my reflection take me to you in sweet dreams.

I remember your short t-sheets and your commands for long massages.
You were my perfect beauty who sang songs of love to me by the Monterey sea.
I have ascended to old age and I still whisper your name in the quiet of the night.

I love you Gail. I hope you are safe and still seeking the beauty of this world.

This is no poem. This is love. I love the way how you fill the words with sympathy and compassion because genuinely, we feel it, too. You write it as if you're serenading us to the place itself and allowing us to become witnesses of the love you had with Gail along with the moon, the stars and the free road. Nice piece, Sir Coyote!

A beauty who likes massages and short tee shirts.....I can picture her because your imagery is so wonderful. If you remember her so many years later, she must have been a special lady. "Today you have become my moon, my sun and my wild river." Ultra romantic words!! Wonderful work, John. Lydi**

This is so beautiful! Gentle, romantic, nostalgic, and bittersweet. It reminds me of times long ago when I knew waterfalls and wild rivers. Thank you for sharing this.
