Once Again

Journey Writing

Waiting

I enjoy the way he speaks.
His vicarious desire to plunge into words ignites my spirit.

He’s fearless.

Openly expressing thoughts that encourage
Sometimes offends
All of the time truth

His truth
One that he holds dear

Much like a form of godliness is such truth
Not ridding the world of evil, but besetting peace within

I like his flow

The language of lovers in pastime
Playfully embracing youth in adult form
He likes cheesy homemade movies on the big screen
Sour patches and chocolate
I like socks and pillows

We like each other
Or at least I hope we do

We met in passing
A brief greeting
Glances with a smile
An introduction to a year later
Maybe a lifetime
Or maybe not

Maybe he is seasonal

I was simply meant to smell his cologne when the wind blew
Hold his hand during cold winter strolls
Sip his iced tea on hot summer days

I had longed to see the summer with him
Watch the waves of rising heat like the new moon
As we lay on a blanket in the middle of central park
Listening to the trees whisper

I wanted to hear the trees whisper

Or sing when the elements somehow interchanged harmoniously
Breezes kissing tree branches
Creating a visible wind love affair
I wanted to be his lady

Proud and humble
Standing tall in appreciation for who is was
And who I needed him to be
He wanted me by his side

Needing to feel abundant as he was already complete
Complimentary
He compliments my smile
Relishes in my being
And flows with my fly

We soar

I like to be far away
Delving deep within myself
Traveling into compartments that had be locked away
In fear

He had the key

Speaking words of consolation
Promising security
He embodied trust
Offered desire and
Promised consistency

Positive repetition that evoked a readiness to be
To simply be

I relished in the comfort he provided
Spiritually treasuring up spiritual greatness
Appreciation and gratitude upon his lips
And I was thankful

Vulnerable in my approach
Steady in my track
And patient
Waiting

For his heart to be healed
And open once again
