I needed "love like salt" this week. And I was blessed, because it flowed. Amen.
Poetry Friday is hosted today by Becky's Book Reviews.

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect prayer of a post.
oh.

I appreciate this poem. The "love like salt" motif (and variations) in fairy tales is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteOh. LOVE this. I'm going to print it out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a profound, yet banal description of love. I really like that.
ReplyDeleteI love all the reminders about how we carry salt with us...especially the pinch behind our eyes.
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty.
