In the Busyness of My Day
Star

This poem was inspired by a special friend.

In the busyness of my day,
it is a memory of you
that gives me pause.
I see you
for some moment in timelessness
where memories gather
as eternal visions.
You gaze at me
with the gift of love you once shared.

As I drive the long road
toward my source,

 
it is your smile, your laughter, that look in your eye,
the wavy brown softness of your hair that I see in the pattern of rock
  and grass and trees on the granite mountainside.
I walk the ridge trail,
each breath so sweet
with wildflower wind.
I stroke such a glorious view
with my eyes.
Or am I laying beside you,
walking the tender curves of your body, breathing your breath,
and stroking your hair
until you purr such contentment
that the stars awake so they too may sparkle in this moment.
I dance with these stars, atop the world,

and you dance with me
– in my arms -
flying across the starfield
as one motion.

It is this place,
this timeless moment,
that connects me so deeply to you.
I feel you here.
In the busyness of my day.
