She gave me a kind smile as we danced the Texas two-step. She whispered in my wanting hears. "Dear Johnnie. People are foolish. They long to stay and long to escape in the same second. Few of us stop to dance and talk. Love is holding hands and create memories"

I told her. Dear Amie. Most of us live a lie. Become so messed-up. Can't tell the truth from a lie. Love could be at our feet and we cannot see her. We are consumed by the wrong things. Wise people find time to Texas two-step and shared days and nights together create bless memories.

Amie laughed and smiled at my words spoken. She looked deeply into my eyes and she asked me. " Johnnie, how do you stop a wild river going downstream? How do you steal the need of the highway and the need of drink and the motels from a untamed man?"

I brought her closer and we moved with the song. I told her. Even the river end-up flowing into the sea. Great storms become quiet and untamed hearts and soul must find shelter and love. I believe. Love comes when love want and dear Amie. Lets dance the Texas two-step till 2 am and find the Austin River at closing time. We just might be blessed with the gift of love and friendship. Need time and great effort.

Having such a deep conversation while dancing the two step brings out the beautiful simplicity of love "Love comes when love want and dear Amie. Lets dance the Texas two-step till 2 am and find the Austin River at closing time." Enjoying the moment they have.

Why run when you may walk. Slow down, relax and enjoy. Just a conversation made poetic. Very cool!

Ah yes, the hardcore wanderer really craves to be persuaded to stay a little longer . . . we just might be able to make it work (famous last words). You've conveyed the familiar longing for stability in between the more prevalent waves of wanting to be a free bird. Even tho your words are gentle & seductive, I can't help but read this with cynical eyes & know that the wanderer will eventually need to go . . .

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Two of the same kind, looking for a reason to escape. Rarely last. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

Dear friend, this piece in particular is my favorite of yours. It's a great story that all of us including myself long to live in. I can't really explain or pick apart this one because it's just a great piece.

Well this write is not just words.
There many precious pearls scattered in this prose piece.
What you have said is right; the real happiness lies in holding the present and enjoying the moment in the present.
You have a peculiar style of getting your message across in very simple way and in your unique style.
My favorites are: Love could be at our ...... .
we are consumed by wrong things.
Living lies life becomes messed up.
Even rivers end up flowing down to sea.
Untamed ....... Might find shelter.
Thanks for sharing..... :-):-):-)
