Very nice, the feelings expressed in a tone of longing that we have all felt at one point in our lives.

Ya. That's my darlin' Dan. Through different time zones, we've found each other. I hope all the other times were as happy as this one. )))

Just beautiful, Sharron! Your words shape a longing for the one who you have carried in your dreams forever, and who now stands before you. *sigh*

The treasure hunt is over with the shine of a smile that fills the once empty space with a glow of light richness.

"Along the pebbled lines of a falling tide." Love that image. Beautiful prose Sharron.

Your voice overs are so expressive too.

Beautiful.

I agree. Romance never leaves the feminine heart.

And I wonder if it ever leaves the male heart; or does it turn to bitterness?

Lovely, Sharron.

I'm with Jim here: "along the pebbled lines of a falling tide." is wonderful.

Thanks, John. Probably not your reading preference, but I'm glad you read it! I don't write much poetry, but sometimes a 100-word poem is easier to write than a 100-word story.

Tears in my eyes, Sharron. Your words are beautiful, and guess what, this is one of 'our' songs. One of mine and Jim's. Thank you so much. xxx

I am embarrassed to say I just discovered Johnny Flynn and the Detectorists. I watched all three seasons in five days...

A bit of romance you say..maybe more than a bit, romance for anything uplifts not only you, but whatever you are romancing!

Yes!!
