line straight as the horizon, faintly blue as sky meets sea
each edge, finger-width apart, to contain the message
my words lay cushioned by these guiding layers
some smeared by effort of my own hand
it was not by accident that I wrote to you
between the lines and not on them.
our relationship never occupied spaces
defined by rules of in or out.

Thank you for visiting
I too love this love
Between the lines
I’ve used it myself on many of an occasion
See you on the other side creativity

What a beautiful view, Ali. Such a lovely sunshine day, and hope it was a warm one too 🙂 I like the idea of a relationship not defined by rules. That’s when two people can completely be themselves individually and together as partners – accepting each other and working together as two people, together.

An agreement between two people is all you need to create. Thank you for the thoughtful reflection, as always. May your cup be filled to overflowing today.
