it feels not quite like an ache
rather more like a bubbling
maybe it’s a
twinkling of toes
at my
centre
the scattering of words
that start to dance
in my head
and
it feels
in my heart
the sky is a beautiful blue
when I step out this morning
the sun is drawing me out
to fill myself
with rays of light
I look up to see wispy clouds of white
sailing overhead
and the watching
makes me unconsciously breathe
deeply in and out
in great cleansing breaths
as I am swept along
marveling at the vastness
stretching out
above
the trees
open
like sky ….
when I come in and return to my chair
the sky turns almost instantly
grey
soon raindrops begin
to pelt the window
and I am filled with gratitude
that I did not miss my chance
to breathe in
that glorious blue
and what about you
today
are you grey
or are you blue?
what if today
I could take you away from all this
all the political wrangling
all the nasty’s and despair
all your worry, concerns
and wrongdoings
what if today
I could greet you with
a smile
and a kiss
to your cheek, to your forehead
even
to your lips
or to the palm of your hand
so that you
could carry it with you
and
we would embrace
warmly wrapping each other
in a hug
holding on just there
until we were
sure
we had touched
each other’s
hearts
then maybe
an extra bit of holding on
for comfort
just
to be sure
we were
there
what if I could offer you
that little bit of light
that you might be missing
today
that brilliant ray
breaking through the cloud
making you stop
and smile
and recognize the giving
of a simple kind
of
Love
what if today
having wandered along
with me
in words
you suddenly felt
the sun on your skin
and
turning to face it
even
in your eyes
causing you to close them
for a minute
and just to be
with me
here
then,
here is your smile
and here
is your kiss
your embrace
and your light
take it with
when
you
go ♥
