Moments 09
The moment the blanket settles
Your heat is radiating
Brushing my skin
Presence reassuring
Heavy arms around me
I start sweating
I feel my face reddening
Yet I won’t move
Out of overheated Geborgenheit*
A yellow hard candy
a small gesture.
How are you?
Long time no see!
Early morning mates,
Before anyone else,
Moments of care,
Moments of noticing,
A fleetingly passing
Web of being seens.
Early morning walks along the canal are my favourite there is a crowd of the same people each day. I had a longish break from the walk changing to lunchtime. When I picked up my early mornings again, there was much rejoicing from a group I met every day. They were sincerely concerned about my wellbeing. We had a bit of banter and I got a hard candy as present.
Transient
Transition into sleep
Waking up eyes sticky
Moving through the day
As if I owned it
Transitions—in and out
Of awareness
At night
At day
Transitioning into togetherness
After breaking free
Not so much transition
More elemental force
Breaking free
Thrown together
Liminal spaces
In between
The hours, the days, the weeks
In between all of us
Are we seeking to arrive?
