Thoughts in N’s room

While I was lying in there last night. I am so glad I am provided with insightful, loving people in my life. It helps so much, especially when my selfishness is running rampant, as it does at certain peak times in my journey. My Higher Power puts someone there who has more sense, who sees behind the visible to what is really going on, and reminds me to be caring, to take care of hearts young and old that might be having some reactions to my path and where it is taking me.

Obscure enough? Just wait! My scribbles were even more obscure! Wishing all who come through here what I was given yesterday by virtue of an interaction on a forum: Bright Blessings.

Cusps

So many things
reel around in a new made
redesigned fragility

All right
I yield to young needs to know
introductions made

It’s a heart expanding
whispering in the midst of
noise and needs

Three then two
then one more
into today

Knowing takes time
it’s the tenderness that seems
so immediate

Five and so close
the names and ages
here one can’t fit and must

Prized and see
when you tell me
please tell me you know how

Crowded
out
pinned

Sweet mercy
deliver at least this much
intact

I suppose
night should close
me now

Salvation
on a dance floor
in blue eyes

Or

Perhaps I am
a string
plucked for a tune

Throbbing response
behind eyes closed
curtains

Is this enough
could I be
for anyone

Notions shift
opening
to mastery

A rose
bends in its own thorn protected
fullness

I silence
demons and heart
against force
