By Katy Rydell
In a long jacket
hands in pockets
shoulders forward
you stood on the far side of the street
A light rain fell
dark on the pavement
damp and slick
When traffic cleared
you ambled across
That simple movement
took my breath away—
You
coming toward
me
Breathtaking Katy. So atmospheric, such a delicate perfect word portrait, heart warming. Thank you gifted friend.
Thank you to my gifted painting friend.
I saw, it touched.
