Tamara Willems

even before you rise…

I am up quite early
much before the rest of the house
even
the sun
Sweetie the canary still sits plumped up
head nestled under wing
the cats are curled
into warm balls of fur
looking like pure snugly comfort
while I am waiting for the coffee to perk
in the quiet
of my sleeping house
I begin to send out words of love
to you
to you who may need it
to you
who may be missing it
to you who may think..  you have
lost it
I am sending out words of love to find you
to surround you in gentle swirls of
gathering
to feed you and to fill you
to lift you and to
lighten you
to warm you up
to embolden you
I am sending out words of love
to find you, wherever you may be
wherever you may need it
even before you rise
to begin your day
I am sending out words of love
to keep you
well

be comfort
be kindness
be peaceful
be love

be well  ♥

and now…   to coffee …
