Have you ever told yourself to stand firm and be cautious about letting someone in your heart before you´ve gotten to know them? And failed? Well, luckily, this one turned out to be even more wonderful than expected...


After The Touch

When walking on a beach I wondered
How can a stone remain so hard
when wave after gentle rolling wave
caresses it?
How -
when my own heart softened
and gave way in an instant
upon seeing you?

this is so very... (searches head for the word i am looking for, gives up) good. (good doesn't fit - well, it does, but it doesn't some it up)... there is beautiful simplicity here, and i love the pondering of how can a stone remain so hard? a much enjoyed read~
