Opinions
Dawn broke over the top of the hill, revealing spring warblers flitting among the high branches.
We heard the horses just then — bursting forth from the barn, racing toward the gate, toward freedom.
And I began to see the signs in you that year — your desire to be free, to leave me — our life — our future.
Was my love too fierce? Was yours too tame? I know one thing for sure, my love never wavered —
I would have walked through fire for you.
Thank you for reading!
