#Poem – blink

I look out the window
Into “our woods”
And notice the awe
With which I hold
This time and place.

It was not always so.
Which allows now
To hold even more
Gratitude for me.

The giant dreamcatcher
Hovers between
Two trees and
Invites me into
Further dreaming.

For I have been dreaming
All along.
Today is a continuation of
The dream
And a confirmation of
The dream.

Friends drop in and out.
They change or remain the same.
We dive deep and we laugh.
We share longings and reflections.
They are lush islands
In the sea of my life.
I love them dearly
And hope great things for them.
Eventually, I must bless them;
Let them go their way.

Just today a friend dropped by.
He has been a best friend to me
For many years.
The demands of life called on him
To move away,
So he is only here for a brief visit.
I recall our history together.
We converse and reveal
And support each other
Just as we have over the years.
We utter blessings
And then we part.

I drop in and out.
I definitely change.
I dive deep and laugh.
I long and reflect.
I bless myself
And dream some more.

If I even blink,
I will miss it.
