I Dreamed of You

By Kim Nelson, on March 9th, 2010%

 

I dreamed of you

So vividly

Before you breathed life here.

You came to me with firm belief

That you were mine, so dear.

When morning came, I lucidly

Considered your request,

And changed up my life’s plan

Right there,

Upon your righteousness.

Once committed, I prepared

To have you in my life,

Proceeding forth to welcome you

No fear, no doubt, no strife.

When you arrived,

Beloved!

I knew that we’d been right.

We salvaged joy, began new worlds,

Thanks to that fateful night.

 

Inspired by Three Word Wednesday… Lucid, Righteous, Salvage

Raising ‘Em Up

By Kim Nelson, on November 9th, 2009%

Early on, one yearns for it ~

The chance to be alone,

Responsible

For only oneself.

Then, when opportunities arise

Enjoyment of separation?

Near impossible!

The invisible ties?

They bind.

~

Slowly,

O’er years

A distance, comfortable, grows wider.

‘Out of sight,’ somewhat acceptable,

For a little while, at least.

But as a day wears on,

Heartstrings tug.

And reunion comforts, Strengthening the ties.

~

Later,

Times apart expand

Enfolding days or even weeks.

But a sense of right is fragile

‘Til communion comes again,

The common threads more tightly knit, but subtly drape and flow.

~

Ultimately,

Success.

Independence.

Directions deviate.

Occasional convergence, is the norm

And the brief little whiles seem right.

Days spent together bring joy.

Those invisible ties woven into a loving comfort-cloth,

Growing ever more precious over time.
