Enter at your own risk (I could not resist)!

Not very romantic, but excellent advice.

I like it, too. I would like to know what companion piece Just Me is referring to so I can read it, too.

Chris Brockman Jan 1, 2013, 3:27pm UTC

See JustMe's "Borowed Light" and my comment to it.

Unique standing alone, and brilliant as a companion piece.

Chris Brockman Jan 1, 2013, 9:13pm UTC

Thanks both ways, John. I hadn't intended this to be a companion piece, as such. Any brilliance shines from Michelle's poem.

I tap with my words and you open the door.

Suggestive and yet also innocent. A peaceful, intimate poem, Chris.

Chris Brockman Jan 2, 2013, 7:52am UTC

Aren't words great? Thanks, Susan.

Barbary Chaapel Jan 5, 2013, 8:27pm UTC

I second Susan's comment.

Surprisingly fragile wording, Chris, with intimance perhaps.

Chris Brockman Jan 6, 2013, 5:48pm UTC

I started with a comment I made to an eponymous poem by JustMe, and I saw some further possibilities with "borrowed light." I hadn't intended anything intimate, per se, but it's certainly open to a variety of interpretations, hence the response to Susan.

I love the way you've brought Michelle's rather distant and ghostly vision straight into the present. Thanks for sharing with Gather's Luminous Writers and Artists. Featured.

Chris Brockman Jan 2, 2013, 5:49pm UTC

You know it's my pleasure, Ann. Thanks for the feature.
