The ticking of the clock
Punctures the silence
The night is breathing softly
The plants are gasping for air
Whispering in the atmosphere
Bend your ear, so you can hear
Soft sounds of the night
They will be gone, once there is
Light

I like when you are poetic. There is something gentle and true in what you communicate and, at other times, a bolshy you. A woman of mystical knowledge and insights found in life. A celebration of life lived. Beautiful.x

You make me want to be the woman I want to be. It is evident in your words and how you communicate them. Big hugs to you, missus. May your retirement fulfil my aspirations of my own. Time and wisdom and desire.x

It seems to me, that you are a wonderful woman. There is always room for us to grow. People like you, have certainly helped me to flourish. It takes a long time to obtain wisdom. Some never learn. Be who you are, and keep that strive. 🙂

Your ‘Sexy Woman’ from before could equally describe strong women. passionate women. Or, perhaps, just women. I greatly admire those, both women and men, who strive, endure and become. You are one such person. Truth will always be seen. x

Thank you for the lovely words. So many barriers along the paths in life, break women’s spirit. That causes them to give up without a fight. Positive, strong women flaunt, and show they are sexy. They are indeed powerful. Everyday is a challenge.

I like the ‘Whispering in the Atmosphere’ part a lot. That’s what the professor seems to do sometimes. Great poem.

Thank you. It’s nothing wrong with whispering, just don’t answer yourself.
