13.2.12

with my eyes resting on the ever evasive point
somewhere in the middle distance
I could watch it for hours
over and over
the shirt sleeves of your smile
falling over the arms of everything I have left
the delicate balancing act
of what is here now
and what is to come.
I could hold it all in my cupped hands.

  6. This reminds me of a stillness I forget that comes over us, so often too. It is a part of our dusty lives so readily that we take no notice of the coming or going.

    The way our hands can be so strong and protective, yet fragile at the same time. We are so mishapen, it's beautiful.

    I hope you are well, darling.
    There is so much here to read.
    Do not forget that you are precious.

    Take care, M xxx
