Alford! I am just seeing this now. Is this your writing?!?! You often share the words of others with me, so that's the only reason I wonder. But I think this is your beautiful work. I hear your voice coming through. Thank you for moving me with your words, and for the beautiful images I now have in my head. Please keep sharing your beautiful writing with us. It is such a blessing. Thank you!
I love the sound of the water, the conversational walk between our bare feet and the shore.
I love others’ smiles, and the visual approval before a hi.
I embrace the rest of us, along with all the quirks refused offhand.
The scent of wood, the sense of care.
I also beg for forgiveness after the storm, and kneel for the passion of the song.
I vent screaming at the mirror in solitude, to coddle the flowers afterwards.
And because there’s no god to quench my thirst, I feed on sunlight and banal lies.

I am not sure from where it comes
when love comes sweeping down
Some say it is of God and others say
the muse's whispering words we hear profound
But I would say love starts like the smallest water drop
and collects the others, rolling hard to stop
it then with all the others forms the rivers and the seas
and then is carried off as mist and starts again unseen
maybe love then circles, wearing down
the weary grind of hate and war
to melt the hardest hearts
to shed its light once more.
