Walk Softly Live Gently

If you wander don’t worry you’re not lost

I Wrote A Poem Once….

about the time we met

After the divorce.

After the new husband.

At our child’s house, for

the baby’s birthday.

I could still feel my fingers

wandering to

Those places now forbidden.

I tried not to think

Of it. To no avail.

It is too fresh.

Your luminous

Self is all I feel.

All I can see of this moment.

Even though I can no longer

feel the softness

Of your body, your hair,

your mouth, I am close

Enough now to sense

the warmth from only

A foot away….

a mile away….

a millennium

Away. Forever

away.
