Here they are ~
The last in this round of Small Stones
Daily snippets of observation
Ordinary moments of grace

He limped past
through the desert
front right leg stiff, straight
gash, just above shoulder.
A clash with fellow Canis latrans?
Or did human beast intervene?

cleaning
prepares the space
for sacrament
for grace

Loved since 18
Today
Fifty four
Still incites
This heart to roar
How lucky

January 30,2012

I feel you.
Here. Now.
Even though
Your today began
Eighteen hours ago

It’s clear
We’ve met before
As logic
Defies
This connection
Otherwise

 

Small Stone, January 1, 2012

I glanced at my reflection in the morning mirror…

Black pearl pendant rests
Above the heart
It gently nests
‘Tween clavicles
And aging breasts
Representing family, love

 

my onus and my pleasure
this relationship sublime

divine …
… complex
ever-changing, redefined

my heartbreak and my honor
this connection, yours and mine

inspired …
… ceaseless
spanning boundaries, place and time

 

tentative
re-connection
fragile
as an ember
coaxed to life
with gentle breath
from dry grass
laid where flames once licked
hot
high
bright
no kindling added
to build
what was
or might yet be
since passion, trust, connection
smothered
sand-kicked by selfish breach

*Inspired by Three Word Wednesday~ Ember, Breach, Tentative

 

I lay here
thinking
knowing

from this moment
I will be alone

fear does not consume me
neither sadness nor regret

resignation and acceptance
yes

and the knowing
that I enjoyed
perfection
