Sharing Personal History One Life at a Time
Today he told me, so I told him…..
The heaviness of it all sat on our tongues for a brief moment.
And then just as quickly the telling broke free at the pace of a child running outside for recess when the bell has rung.
He stayed on course.
I drifted direction some.
Silence followed
Cicadas humming amongst the trees soothed our souls as we sat together and took in the smell of a moonless night.
Be still
Hold on
Believe……
Mark time
Be strong
Conceive…..
Change course
Wander
Breathe……
Waste not
Want not
BE…….
The soft blue sea winks at me
The keeper of a thousand truths
Come out and play she seems to say
As I cover naked eyes from the sun
Warm sand on feet growing hotter
Sweat beneath my brow
“Tickle me with your toes”, she whispers
Delightedly, I comply
For who can resist her sweet little kiss on a fabulous day in July
