selfless moment

noticed a flower standing alone amidst a

forest of tall trees that hovered over it as

and it stood still except when a breeze

blew through then it would dance

i didn’t know what kind it was but i noticed

It’s tincture of blue petals and yellow center

standing alone seemingly not fazed by its

comparative stature compared to the

giant sequoias

i stood there observing it for a while

wondering how it survived the giant

world around it then i noticed a ray

of sun piercing through the trees

like a spotlight, it shined upon it

then within me evinced this poignant thought

… that in this large world of giant trees and

grand mountains, vast oceans, high clouds

dangling from an unreachable sky, a light

will pierce through, shine upon me, a

moment of selfless, all will be well   

a hug

3am; awaken desiring a warm embrace,

the tactile connection of which i so desire in

trying to recall the gentle warmth of touch

letting the soothing calm come o’er me for

a moment, even if short lived, escaping the

grip from the purveyor of anguish called, life

it was in my dreams where no matter of the

juxtaposed surreal reveries while sleep avails, in

the theater where dreams evolve and whose sense

of reality is ethereal and the drama of them then

ceases so that my ‘self’, the observer, walks onto

the stage with desire of a hug from anyone

so too, lately, in my daytime strolls amidst

Nature’s canvas, i observe daffodils surrounded

in a knoll of verdant grasses, their stems are

intertwined t’if embracing and as i walk further

along, i notice, also, a sea of jonquils swaying,

dancing in the breeze  bracing each other

and so i ask of my life partner, that from now

on when our lips come together for that peck

of affection, can we, also, put our arms around

each other, chest to chest, for a moment feeling

our two hearts beating and the warmth of this

embrace further notices each other’s presence
