Blossoms Quote by John Daniel Thieme

“that I thought of you—of the air that slipped between the strands of your hair, and blue stones in my hand, before the autumn damasks bloom their last, before these blue stones are lain forgotten as the blossoms of plum trees I could not render in my artless hands” quote by John Daniel Thieme
