Day 15
National Poetry Month
inhale and hold
exhale and pause
repeat
repeat repeat
preparation
now pull up love from the heart
focus on that as the solid core
realize that you are there
no matter what
hold hold hold
inhale and hold
exhale and pause
repeat
repeat repeat
preparation
reach with fingertips of mind
already connected to the heart
gently touch to connect
listening to the resonation
wait wait wait
inhale and hold
exhale and pause
repeat
repeat repeat
preparation
one cannot hurry
what is not known
but at the ready
she flexes with the winds
smile smile smile
there are no promises of no pain
the tears of the heart unrestrained
become crystals that reflect light
in multicolred rainbows over and over again
it is hard to adjust the sails
that they be filled with love
there are times the canvases cut loose
flapping briefly about in the breezes of change
making snaps and cracks that sound sharp
yet there right there in that heart
love is and remains waiting
to center
the ship yet again
alight upon the grassy turfs
that are soft compared to the rock
formidable rises up that hard granite
that if not for her heart
might claim yet another victim
not this time or season
she quietly breathes within
there will be stops along the way
brief moments for a little restess sleep
but life is the journey of living
astounding when righted by the guide of love
does not all of this
make for the worthiness
of the death that lies ahead
where when several last breaths unfold
there will be no regrets that indeed
with all flaws and all successes
we might say we lived with love!
