"Something Good" by Mary Meriam I waltz with Julie Andrews in her blue desire dress one summer night, and we are floating from the castle garden through the edelweiss and falling dreamily in love in the gazebo. "Nothing comes from nothing. Nothing ever will," she sings to me alone, while silky darkness hums along in harmony with lovely things. For here you are, you're standing there, in truth you're loving me and touching me with your soft womanhood. So somewhere in my youth inside of Julie's sound of music, pure confusion slowly melts, and any doubt dissolves as Julie guides my coming out. About the Author
