   Gorgeous painting, gorgeous words. I adore that petite pen, K. Let’s see…

   dark tides rely
   upon that which is found
   inside

   the presence of your skin

   reminiscent
   of days spent along the coast

   where two hearts will remain forevermore

   Fun. Wishing you continued wellness in your adventuring, my friend. 💜

   I can’t decide whether I like this more for its lightness or for its depth 🙂

      Thank you, John. I can’t think of blackberries without thinking of my maternal grandmother. Her blackberry hair and our tin pail up the mountainside to find berries.

    Can’t wait to start picking blackberries! Your Petite Pen captures the experience in the image perfectly, K.

    A curl of mint to cleanse the mouth,
    A smear of vanilla to sweeten the spoon,
    And a tumble of blackberries to sharpen the senses.
