A #vss365 heroine story Nothing made Karli more furious than when her friends were treated unjustly. The oppressors could threaten her, treat her harshly, #sear a hot iron to her face, but she would not back down. She would ensure justice for her friends through the power of the press. #KarliHope

#Lavender beauty Such light adorns you this day Come lavish me with Tendrils of kindness today Wrap your scent around my heart And walk with me in the way That my words may be to you Poetic musings to play On viola heartstrings To love you Like lavender flowers in May #vss365

She said, you owe me a dance In the rain where I stood I had to make good So we danced a romance Slow and close and true The way I like it, the way she did too There was music playing somewhere In my face the #wisp of her hair; Subtly aware, I loved her, right there #vss365 #poetry #romance

Where do you #bloom, sweet flowers of love? Beneath storms of despair or bright weather fair In droughts of gloom or the sea’s hidden womb I’ll find you, roses of life, petunias of light Come out, I know where you hide, In arms open wide For that is why you are alive #vss365

At #dusk come the deer Down to the river for a drink And a peace settles gently here Makes me wonder, makes me think Why the skittish deer are frightened of me When I come near to say hello Why the autumn twilight laughs at me When love was all I ever meant to show #vss365

Your subtlety, humility, femininity Meet me where I am most vulnerable My heart disarmed, my love freed My lips know the #shape of yours by heart Like the sun knows the surface it shines upon; Like the shadows that compete for their attention I know them even in the dark #vss365
