strangers who touched me today
{love on the 12}
she stares at him like she is inspired by his eyes.
he playfully blows fairy dust off her face,
and as she blinks her eyelashes dance.
quiet companions. kind connection.
beautiful as they should be; blue eyes to black hair,
her freckles mirror his.
and head to shoulder and hand to window
even from here they are like souls.
and i know their secret.
{midday meditation}
a boy in a dark grey hoodie is meditating in the grass...
before him stands a symbol built of brick and blessed by god-
his lips move to scriptures like hips to a groove; silent in his stature,
but what of his mind or mood?
stained glass sunbeams cover his eyes, of which the third is crying-
but in minding this life, his light ...is now one with the ground.
and i have just witnessed religious experience; quite profound.
