The first time ever I saw your face
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time, my love
And it will last till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face, your face
Your face, your face
_ Ewan Mac Coll (The first time ever I saw your face) _

A famous and hauntingly lovely song, beautifully portrayed by you.
I thank you once again…
Love this, Max. WordPress keeps on undubscribing me to blogs – this time yours. Following again now.
You have another post up on strata of the self:

Thanks Ashley… And yes, WordPress keeps doing a lot of weird changes and things…
The music flows through the lines of memory and I am left stranded there.
Thank you so much for commenting…
