When they ask about you…
I tell them about the ordinary,
but my heart flutters
feeling the extraordinary,
enchanting love,
between us.
I trace your smile…
my attempt to memorize
the contours of your face
slowing the haste
of time
so I can rewind
this moment
in my mind
with you
In response to daily prompt: Memorize
Contemplations of the quiet mind…
as it slowly rewinds
the cascading waves
of thoughts
falling in an infinite abyss
of feelings
that drift in your eyes
floating in the skies
of everlasting dreams
drifting with the winds
of dark storms
looming at the edge of the sea
as you fly free
in the pouring rain
of the subdued pain
of the world
floating gently
with the contemplations…
of the quiet mind.

For those moments…
when your heart feels heavy,
and your mind forgets be ‘alright’,
when your eyes cannot tell,
between the day and the night…
hold my hands.
For those moments…
when you feel there is nothing left to say,
when even in silence you cannot lay,
in peace…
hold my hands.
Hold my hand,
and lean your restless heart on mine,
and though it may not happen this instant,
everything will be just fine,
and whatever else happens between now and then,
you will always have me.
