being proud of your face

simply no disgrace

being proud of your face

facing the world of friends and lover

in the chill of night under weighted cover

touching a soul with your fingertips

on sleeping lips.

finding your path to sail the high seas

without over-reliance on the word "Please"

while being respectful and alert

with healing words to avoid the hurt.

yoga and meditation

no hesitation

sharing your love of food:

shopping, kitchen prep, always in the mood

for an amble into a recipe book

happily exclaiming "Ah, yes!  Look!

You'll love this!"

Pure Bliss.

exploring beyond the shore

and so much more,

with a lust for adventure and yet the slow

reading of a map wondering which new way to go

beyond the boring

like an eagle on the highest winds soaring.

a quiet voice

maintaining a choice

to be spirited or soft in a favorite chair

like a lioness in her lair

singing her song

short or long

asking others to sit and lounge and love

watching clouds drifting above:

a talk about the future or the past

stretching a moment to make it last

for another minute or afternoon or for weeks.

it's simple:  whatever curiosity seeks.
