our lives
strike a balance between friendship
and love and loyalty—
we are positioned for direct and often indirect impacts,
even if most of the times we miss—
at least we can say
that we tried
A Balance

play is another form of meditation

tulips and primroses
little gnomes on balconies

space toys from the 50’s
black garden snakes

Play
take time to play
Lately, these blue things
soft bandana on my head with grey whisps of hair escaping and silver earings glinting
marbles and sea glass held safely by a small bowl with cracked glaze and poppy seed markings
warm blankets from Yellowstone cradling a little blue truck no longer played with–but forever loved
Marbles
The cool, clinking and tinkling
sounds you emitted when touched,
sparked a nostalgic happiness
that filled the afternoon.
