storm


driving home
from the farmer's market-
I can't see anything-
through this storm-
I come home to sleep-
with you-rest in your
arms full of things-
mine are. We share a
beer, really talking-
for the first time in
weeks I kiss you-
and I don't mind
that your beard is gone.

    The familiarity and intimacy are wonderful here. The essence of every day, and the blessings therein are evident. Feels transitional in several ways. Nice write!

    I love the tender intimacy in your words~ The caress of day and how these interludes allow magic to arrive~

    This is larger than the words...it has a peaceful and sweet nectar to it, like a favorite flower on the dining table.

    Rachel,

    Home is the best place to be away from a storm and fear and into the arms of love.
