Into the Fire

Escapists 

I saw you in my mind and wanted to know you.

You wandered toward me, and your smile captured me.

Wouldn't turn me loose.

Would you stay? Beyond the smile, the hello? That first kiss?

Your eyes – golden brown like the color of autumn,

outlined in dark lashes.

I couldn't escape.

I didn't want to. 

Would love wrap around us like a silken tether 

or would we snap the binding like a weak thread?

Would we dare to weave our own tale? 

Or would we forfeit the adventure indulging in fear of loss?  

Every now and then, I do the free verse thing. Hope you enjoyed this one.

Father, thank you for writing and words. Love playing with them. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
