Once
the lean arms of a willow
wrapped around my belief
nothing was going to change
there would always be
this moment
where your eyes took me in
hungry and unapologetic
and I
like most who are young and eternal
watched myself on film
blinking against bright sun
unaware of shadows
TheFeatheredSleep 
Wonderful write.
Love this!!!
Beautifully poignant!
I could quote the entire piece, really… you’ve said so much without saying much at all, but for some reason, these lines truly grabbed me:
“the lean arms of a willow
wrapped around my belief
nothing was going to change”
Lovely piece, love.
An Ingénue in more than spotlight, drenched in sun.
A beautiful poem.

Beautiful words
Your reflections of innocence remind us of our true selves, so often lost in the storm of livingness …
Absolutely wonderful, Candice. I love this (and can identify with that moment).
Pennings as beautiful, as stimulating as a rivulet flowing to the sea
It is a very sincere pleasure.
