Love it! ‘a hymn
book thrown open’
Concise, for sure. Love the hymn book thrown open – like Gabrielle, too.
moon faced and your heart a hymn…honestly..i sometimes was just tired and had no eyes for the moon…smiles… your eyes see the beauty even in those nightly wakes..this is precious..
Oh…how you express the love your feeling so very well in these lines…makes me smile.
This is very beautiful! Short and sweet.
A beautiful moment beautifully captured
