away from you
Con Funk Shun
plays, and I finally
hear what I need to
in Michael Cooper’s
sultry voice…
“That’s the way it
goes on Love’s
Train,” and you
begin to fade from
memory.
As soon as you float
into another part of
my mind, The Gap Band
plays, and then
I hear, “Keep running,”
and here I am… trying to talk
myself from chasing
after you.
I am slowing down,
finding my own beat,
and my own words
to get far away from
you.
death from cold
cold weather
moves in without an
invite–banging at
the doors of the sky,
willing to lap dance
the day away, as
long as it’s paid in
full before the next
business day.
its pimp hangs out
around the corner,
strangling the sun
and threatening to
take the heat from
it.
we all layer up for
safety. we don’t want
to catch our death
from cold.
Love’s Train by Con Funk Shun:
Yearning for Your Love by The Gap Band:
Autumn’s wings
the chill in the air
is what I live for; the
wind that picks up
moves in the right
direction for me to
glide on it
gracefully.
I walk on Autumn’s
wings, at peace
with the calm that
comes with it.
the love given to a bonsai tree
have you ever pondered the life of a bonsai tree?
contained and pruned regularly to stay alive.
the love it must take to have
someone tend to what you need
at the exact moment you need it
is nothing short of humane.
your livelihood is built around the
caring heart of a human being who
spares time to pour into you
what they may not pour into others.
isn’t that remarkable?
how many of us would thrive in a small container,
shaped and structured to fit our home—safe,
secure, and sturdy throughout many years ahead?
my money’s on not many.
