I am lush, ripe
exotic fruit
ready to be plucked and consumed.
I am of the tropics, the rain forest -
rare birds
and unexamined, unexplored treasures that heal, mystify, confound
even the most ardent, even the most schooled, seeker.
I am hills and valleys and curves
I am sanctuary and thrill at once
I am darkness in the sunlight,
I am rain and I am thirst
Sounds like you have fresh, renewed inspiration.

New places, new faces, new weather…and of course being near the water all make me feel fresh and new!

your sensuality standing by your side
claiming it to the world
claiming you are worthy!

Thanks, qazse. I believed it when I wrote that – perhaps soon I will believe it again!
Been a rough day.
Thanks for coming by, and commenting, and saying something I needed to hear.
