Listening to every heart

Quests

This is one of the great moments
Connection incarnate

To know I can do what I wish,
Where others took pen to paper,
I take a window to world…

And in my world

Crickets hum,  criss-crossing an I am, at 8:32 CST
In my own yard, my own dream, watching sunsets
Set, slowly, in harbor time, somewhere else, as

Katydids sing

I am in listen time, with dog paws scratching deck
Ears alert, tail motioned in drum of air,
This is….summer…

This is heartbeat, song sung, relaxation of belly to deck;
Quirp to quirp quip of bird talk

Me in the dark and you, in shadows,
Siren song to a place unknown;
with crickets overchirping
And some mosquito in quest of
Blood.

Like you.

This is the blood quest.

Dream well, and long.

I hate those things, thank goodness we don't have many.  Nice evening spent in thought this was.
