Like an innocent insect
I wondered into your web.
I didn't panic;
I wasn't free one moment,
And then suddenly found myself stuck.
It was more gradual,
A slow seduction of your bright colors;
Your good side.
I tiptoed toward you that bright winter day,
Walked that fine line along the outskirts of your web;
Ever the overly cautious one.
We did this dance for weeks....months,
Your colors growing more vibrant as the sun became more brilliant;
Reeling me in a little more each day.
I found myself swooning one day and discovered a foot was stuck on your dew dampened web;
Not close enough to you to say I'd fallen,
But too far from caution to go
Our shoulders bump while our hands accidentally brush again.
I look down self consciously and smile;
Catching him doing the same from the corner of my eye.
We look up at once, eyes meeting and chuckle to ourselves.
Dinner ended hours ago.
He'd been the one to suggest a second dessert;
Enjoying his company a little more than I probably should,
I agreed.
It's nearing two a.m.
Everyone else is asleep as we walk around the lake.
Moon high in the sky, illuminating our path;
The heat of the summer day has ended, giving way to a cooler night,
Perfect for a late night walk and quiet conversation -
Only, neither of us has spoken in the last five min

Few of you know that I've been sick for a few months now. Being sick has led me to me shaving my head. I'm posting this, not for sympathy, but for the women and girls who value your hair. You are not your hair. Who you are shines far brighter than what's on your head, face, skin or what you wear. How you treat people and what you do in life means so much more than any of that. And it's through your actions that your beauty shines the brightest. :)

I am glad you are well. Too many times people take such a small think for granted. -- Oh no! Does it answer to Alexa? Kill it! xD - Been ill since December but otherwise, still kicking.
