Start a fire then read

The smoke

Signals

Reassurance

The future overhead

Trails moving

Downwind

With hope

And happiness

Or,

As told in the levels

Of warmth and riesling,

Sipping  anticipation

And grief

    This was so profound for me.

    Sometimes we have to relight the fires under ourselves to get our lives going again.

    “The sipping anticipation and grief” ~ I loved it! I know most of us have had to sip more than that in this lifetime: fear, love, embarrassment, humility.

    This piece really moved me!
