here I am again swirling in the time in between
                the weeks where the magic and I dance
        as the days click by drenched in Gratitude
while still a-tingle in anticipation and shimmering with possibility

        droplets of summer slip out beyond the shades
                releasing her sultry embrace by degree
revealing hues that breathe warmth into suddenly chilled bones

her rich colours a feast for my eyes
                her voice raised in blustery song
        chasing away those ever present saboteurs
prattling on inside my head

and this shift of season is not like her other three changes of clothing
                imbued as it is with the light of love
        sandwiched between the celebration of two dozen and another four years of partnering
of breathing each others lives
        of tandem reaching foward

and the Beauty of forty and four years of life pulsing
                each year revealing a bit more of the Vast Mystery within
        each me an evolution, baby

glimmering brighter through this weave of soul-family
                in these interwoven reminders
that alone is a myth

We’re diving in together to be Given to Gratitude. Won’t you join us?
