Treasure
I searched for you in small cafés and fog-bound streams - 100 words

I’ve searched for a thousand years,
through the echoes of city streets,
in forests of white cedar,
along the pebbled lines of a falling tide.
I’ve searched for you in small cafés,
and waking dreams and cheap hotels.
Waiting for you, the one worth more than rubies.
~~~
Through idle nights and fog-bound streams,
on waterstairs and grassy fields,
I waited for you. I am not troubled
by the imperfections of your face,
The worn, rough edges of your body. Not at all!
You are not skin, nor blood nor bone.
You are a treasure worth more to me than diamonds.

No matter our age or circumstance, we all have a bit of the romantic in us.
"Along the pebbled lines of a falling tide." Love that image. Beautiful prose Sharron.
Your voice overs are so expressive too.
Sometimes, the search is better than the find. Very nice, Sharron.
