That golden orb
lay down so eloquently
the bottom of it
pulled down by the sea
or perhaps the rotation
of the earth
that which we cannot see
And I shared a bench
with an old man
who did not speak
But I heard his heart
when his eyes were alight
no grief
We took in the moment
each of us our own thoughts
dreams hopes desires
beliefs
Sunset by the sea
I gave gratitude
for you and me
for spirit peace equality
A couple lay in each other’s arms
a family played joyfully
mother and son
daddy and baby
a circle of souls
waxing philosophically
three women late in their years
a wet-eared puppy
That golden orb
not a backdrop
but the focus of the moment
holding us all together
to bask in its enjoyment

This was nice. Made me think of a couple days ago, I went for a walk (which i haven’t done in months) and ended up sitting next to an old lady.
She just came and sat down right next to me (which was weird as I would imagine old ladies don’t usually opt to sit next to young men) but she smiled and I smiled and we just sort of sat there, enjoying the weather.
It was nice, and I would have forgotten it if I hadn’t read this.
Thanks 🙂
I’m so glad it made you think of that moment. And that we had similar experiences! As always, thank you for reading and commenting. I went away for a while now trying to get back. Bloggers like you help the process and I am forever grateful.
Not the backdrop but the focus indeed.
Love this.
Thank you 🌈
