the high road

tomorrow is today and today I laughed.
feeling safe, steady, sensitive and sane.
making one day at a time perform for me and what works.
seeing the sun setting behind that stand of trees and stopping to shoot.
cheering the team in red shirts, catching the softballs pitched and celebrating this year's summer.
watching progress run ahead, following the road into serenity now.

I saw sparks, in memories of youth and trial.
Embers burn and emotions turn.
Fire lighting my inside out.
talking to you, adding value to her, praying for his to bloom, loving the man who sacrifices and scrapes.
Swimming and flying and dreaming and breathing.
Drawing lines to jump over and setting boundaries to break. Something beautiful.
Beauty shines.
on us
for the hopeful and helpful and me and you...all the things that we do.

thank you.
listening
hearing
being you.
reminding
remembering
reminiscing
with me.
twist the web around the bubble
no trouble intended
no harm done
value added and treasure found
inside the words
within the thoughts
among unanswered emails
shared lyrics
guitar chords and drum solos
cool and serene and cool and calm
cool confidence
contagiously caught
currently flowing through this message
the current of life
the wtf moment of NOW
the elation of flight
the unimaginable do over
the unreal sensation of another human's touch
least expected and less physical
thank you, thank you
now I cry
