Joy!

Coming

There is elation in the air now
a promise of significant joy
the coming season warmed
so soon
so very soon

A midwinter gift
oh watch me smiling now
through the winds and those days
of silence and apartness
suddenly made so bright
redeemed by such glad tidings

There comes over me some depth
the honor due all that has gone into
this momentous news
and I must pay attention to the business of today
while my heart smiles in advance

A request

Now once more night
my confidante
come close and hold my dreaming
what wonder that this bombastic
voluble voluminous ink-stained
woman that I am
is given acts so gracious as these
by my truth whisperer

Dear dark and quiet hours
spread throughout my body
grace my spirit
soothe my mind’s dancing ecstasy
there is a need to rest
then dreams to spin till morning
the wonders of plans and anticipation
bring me early to lie beside my soul’s companion

~~~~~~~~~~

A tryst
a romantic interlude
the world become brighter
sweet hiatus of needs fully met
heart and soul reunion

Forgive me my selfish dance
the wicked naked joy in which I turn
but my soul exults in this treasure
this is as loud and bold a proclamation
as anyone could hope to feel

Woman of many hats..

Sounds like some pretty great days! Smilin’ here for you!

ryn: Not to worry. As I approach my 2 year sobriety date, I feel the need to express what is clearly part of my darker nature. Usually, the thoughts and images don’t flow nearly this freely – I’m taking advantage of the gift of a fleeting muse.

That last stanza..It reminds me of my Joy..we’re lucky to know that kind. You are so good with words. really.

WooHoo! Yea! Joy is great : ) Happiness Hugs

Sleeping to Dream

The too much work is my fault because I’m too lazy to do it, but I’m getting it all done. Everything is fine here I suppose. J wants the surveys article done as soon as possible, but I still have other articles to do. Blah.
