Listening to every heart

Just Me & You

Tonight, this Friday,
it is just me and you,
this calm night, with thundering
rain having passed,
only lingering droplets of tears,
the sun, returned to earth, to somewhere
on this globe that you’ve touched
before.

So much having occurred, so
brutal were the earlier hours,
when I heard the crow call,
when lies were told, when
I thought my heart had collapsed
at least twice.

But then, there you were, to lift me
once again, with tender words,
of always, and know, and love,
making me whole, once more.

Moments slip-slide away;
me, centering again
once more, into you…
how like this you are, kind,
forgiving, so willing to ease all pains…

and I ask, once again,
if you would forgive me, my vices,
and then,
when you touched a finger
onto my thoughts, gently whispering
all is forgiven, for I gave my promise…

and I feel your smile.

How it fills me, relieving
backwards, have would I thoughts ~
friends of words again seeking…

they have to find their own way…

then?

I leave this note, noting
with all sincerity, that I failed to
capitalize

You.

~*~


May you all find a special
peace within,
This Easter.

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...

Touching indeed are your words. And always they enrich my life and fill my heart. Happy Easter Karilea. Thinking of you this week-end.

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

Karilea, this piece held a breath-taking beauty about it ... a whisper as if you were talking and reaching out to someone individually and yet, everyone at the same time. Just lovely - a wonderful write. Happy Easter to you!  

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

Beautiful Karilea, very warm and comforting.

I knew that this would be a very intimate piece of writing by the title "Just Me & You".

Gentle, open and honest writing, Dear Ball Solar Light.
