This was so much more powerful and enigmatic than the WCW poem. The heart - "no taboo, nor rehearsal... veil." Deep, moody. Loved it, and thanks for stopping by to visit me, too! Amy
...it's normal to feel this way at first encounter... that's where we all started with a stranger until that mutual connection is revealed.... smiles...

Pull it back and see what comes due
ReplyDeleteand perchance it will be enough magic you can eventually lose the veil and really get to know one another...smiles.
ReplyDeleteThe upbeat wind seems like a positive thing.....and hope the veil is only a temporary thing.
ReplyDeleteWe almost always seem "veiled" during a first encounter, only when we become comfortable do we remove them. Very thoughtful write!
ReplyDeleteI am the opposite I am totally relaxed and open and even funny when I first meet a person then I get scared a few days later and totally clam up lol
ReplyDeleteWell done. The timid first encounter is always hard
ReplyDeleteOptimistic lines.....
ReplyDeleteLovely poem, with a very real situation under scrutiny. Nervousness can overshadow some first encounters...

ReplyDeleteThis makes me want the story! Great hook! Love the quote on your sidebar - a bird doesnt sing - one of my faves.
ReplyDeletesmiles...it's good when we don't need a rehearsal veil.. it's exciting to meet someone in person who you have known for a while from a distance..
