wordless wednesday

slow dissolve

my head

tilts back

in wonder

i stand

open-mouthed

as if

to receive

the host

the moon

dissolves

on my tongue

-stacy wills (10/10/10)

no one else

there's no one else

i'd rather see

the sunrise with

than you, my love

no one else i'd rather

kiss goodnight, than you

we've been together

spring and summer

now it's autumn

we're passing through

each season of our life

grows sweeter

the longer i'm with you

-stacy wills (10/7/10)

swooning

you had me swooning

this morning, yes swooning,

right there in the driveway.

me, in my robe and slippers,

hair all bed-messy

sleep, still in my eyes.

i was innocently going out

to get the paper,

when you ambushed me.

how could i resist your silvery sliver

riding low in the sky like that,

barely clearing the treeline,

shining like all get out.

and the stars, oh...don't even

get me started on the stars!

alas, my rapture was interrupted

by the sound of

footfalls and heavy-breathing.

i was not alone as i supposed,

a jogger was approaching.

tell me, how does one

jog through beauty like this?

surely he is not oblivious

to the glory above.

surely i am not the first

moonstruck lady he's seen

standing in her yard

in the wee hours.

then i turned and ran, too...

for my camera!

-stacy wills (10/5/10)

making melody

the morning air

swirls alive

with song

a bird outside

my window is

pouring out

her praise

making melody

in both

our hearts

-stacy wills (10/4/10)

slow dancing

with the turning

of the season

a gentle breeze

is blowing

and with it

comes a knowing

that it's time

for letting go

then like lovers

we're slow dancing

to the waiting

ground below

-stacy wills (9/30/10)

collaboration

if you are a regular reader here, you won't be seeing anything new. the artwork in this video has all been featured here at one time or another. what will be new to you is the music you hear. that's my beloved playing. i asked him to play something original to go along with the images and he graciously (and truth be told, a little reluctantly) agreed. he hasn't had much time to play his guitar these days; the pace of his life goes about 70 mph, and he felt rusty. plus, guitar strings are tough on tender fingertips. but he persevered...just as he had all afternoon trying to even figure out how to make a video. when it was all said and done, i watched it about 5 million times...just to hear my beloved play.
