We orbit around each other

thru time

Your world so big, mine so small

 

California beaches

lanky blondes

the right image

Am I in the wrong body?

You play the stock market

I play dominoes

 

Your anger flashes

shades of red and purple

did I say the wrong words?

I hold my breath

and wait

 

I can heal you

 

Front porches, fragrant orchards

snow filled fields

glistening mountains

silky nights

my small world

 

But our orbits touch at times

 

Sometimes

YOU are my mantra

wanting you as my guide

to help me see

 

Velvety whispers and a knowing of each other

lessons learned

or what is the point?

 

If we were to take away all the outside interference

Would our spirits be content

to connect?
