The prompt at One Deep Breath this week encouraged us to "break the rules" and write about love. Here's where I found love today:
his face
when he sees me —
and mine, too
And in school, there was much talk about an immature red tailed hawk that had swooped further down into our campus than usual. I didn't see the hawk, only witnessed the feeling of everyone wanting to somehow connect to this spectacular bird...
red tailed hawk —
we speak of you,
failing to claim you

for their continuing inspiration.
Update: friend Jaxter got a picture of the hawk.)

I especially like the second one and the nature of the love between the people and the hawk. The relationship is dance and flight. Beautifully done.

i love how you have captured that "glimpse across the room at your love & share a knowing" aspect of love in the first
Each so different but with the same underpinnings - very nice!
Lovely, both in their different ways.
beautiful visualization of love shared... and definitely appreciate your 2nd... hawks are freedom flying for me...
Of course: nature is a biggest source of love. I keep returning and returning to it yet don't think of it as romance. But it is. My One Deep Breath is here.
I too love that moment when the beloved child's face suddenly passes from not recognizing you to realizing you are there. Mother's joy!
