path
Memory
blossoming blessings that sway sanity to sanctuary
showers stream down floating on bellowing breezes
teases temptations that yearn for romantic releases
fantasies and flirtations memories in mind played off reel and ceases
tranquilly transformed by His touch gratitude to God for grace and glory
