I often find myself
behind the falling of tears...
A trembling grimace
folding new lines in my
slowly aging face;
emotional pain just
passing through
and lingering too long...
Then she takes my offered hand
pulls it into her embrace
wrapping my arm
around her little heart
that sometimes finds its
big emotions
She lays her head
in the crook of my arm
     and falls to sleep...
Such a little Somebody
can cause my heart to ache so
That, the same, can heal it
in mere seconds...
And I often find myself
behind the falling of tears --
     Smiling...

sigh......
it's strangely loving

life

friendship is unnecessary...like philosophy...like art
it has no survival value...rather it is one of those things that gives value to survival...

I enjoyed it very much.
