Listening to every heart

Yesterday


It was only yesterday
when we met, and touched
through some lifetime familiar
of trials before we met again,

then found ourselves
wrapped in welcome brace, and
knew such silence
because we loved so much
of what we didn’t know

and it was quite right,
that silence, as time became
louder than words could
ever be,
like it is when some salt-laden
ocean clings to a heartbeat,
where pearls grow

when the fog winds you in
and some morrow that was only once
a dream
comes true.

It was rather like that, then,
some almost three years ago, a wee bit
following your other day of birth
that year

when we learned to lean
upon each other so well…
that talk became breath,
breath, sighs,
and sighs worked their way
into smiles of
yes, I know.

Happy Birthday, Flower Girl.

Ah dear Karilea how this oozes of things that seem to be familiar. And for such a special lady too. This if full of love and understanding all the things anyone could wish for as a birthday present. Thanks, and Martie I hope it is another special birthday.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

A true friendship awesomely expressed, dear Karilea. I love you both and it is a pleasure to witness this precious bond.

Happy Birthday dear Martie, from the bottom of my heart.

I almost missed the bus on this one.  Many, many more to you, Martie.  Lots of hugs, Ken

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
