your every movement
is like breath to me
a gentle breeze
heading out
across the sea

for Karen on her birthday

Thank you Frank, Laure & Devika.

Laure, both Karen and I think the image of a shawl is beautiful, thank you.

Devika, (sorry I should have made it clear) Karen is my wife. Thanks again for your comments.
