it is easy to forget
that each day is new
dictionary always available
to define, refine
sometimes it’s a thesaurus
leading us slowly
to something different
today it is discovery
that old pieces can be recycled
joy has a memory
a shift can drop a piece in place
comforting in familiarity
yet casting a new shadow
sometimes you are most active
when you are still
I kept looking to those purple roses today
wanting perfection
all the words
that would make it plain
without bogging anyone else down
You were here
I am me because you were you
and we were in an intersection of time
both solid and without discernable boundaries
a single note of a sterling song
that remains in tune as each chord is struck
memories building the melody
until the refrain doesn’t need the lyrics
because the moments are the perfection
that create a universal ballad
when one stops to listen to a heart
that grieves a heart that stopped
let me be your stranger
it’s easier to defy expectations that don’t exist
be my other
new , exciting, unknown
steering our moment
disorienting direction
while I discover missing pieces
words before and after
written in the dictionary
I have watched this video three times today and each time has led me to a smile. It is shorter than a sitcom and has far more to say. Olé!
