Remembered tenderness
Gently rubbing lotion
on her hands
her face
her lips
caressing her cheek
love embodied
connection

I can love
Deeply

I can connect
Completely

I hold the key
Surrender

An ode to a wandering cat It’s a mystery to me
where he spends his day
stopping in for breakfast
then on his merry way

I'll have sunshine and starlight
Great gusts of wind a-blowin'
A silently falling summer mist
My feet upon cool earth

Such vibrant colors -
the spring green of the willow
the clear blue sky
with bits of wispy clouds
the white daytime half-moon

Is it a coincidence?
I don’t think so
I could make a playlist
first your song
then two of his -
songs of remembrance

Some days feel as though
I’m lying in a mud-pit
the world is drab and dreary
there’s no getting out
the mud slimes all over
