Sweet Friendship
They sprinkled spices
on their friendship
and a bit of sweetness, too
Every time they escaped
the mundane ho-hum
thoughts of each other
Dancing instead
out the side door
into the lovely sunlight
Deja Vu
After these years together
as some sparkling new day begins
so many times I notice
it’s déjà vu all over again
Familiarity, it seems
(at least, in our experience)
causes not contemptuous lip
Instead a deepening of Love
With new eyes, I see you again
a whole new being with tender spots
and blossoming heart
Ever richer connection
Palpable Love
“I appreciate you,”
she said to the good man
that is her loving partner in Life
“I cherish you,”
he said to the good woman
who stood beaming Joy right in front of him
And their Love was palpable
in that simple expression of Truth…
============================
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL BEINGS!!!
*Today’s napkin was co-written by Dena and Marshal.
Childish Hearts
all mumbly was my memory
with sparkly spots
here and there
‘til in dream awoke
bright and shiny
warm and pleasant summer day
and you and I
with childish hearts
hunkered down
on plastic ride toys
and raced on giggles
‘til falling over with glee
Going with the Knowing
Bold feelings energized
by luscious experiences
Each day of life packed full
of whole-hearted living
We relish the little things
and expand for the huge
Going with the knowing
whispered in silence
and shouted on the wind
Hey there, fellow traveler
thank you for the companionship!
