one night
the sky was calm
and the world
had a feeling of benevolence about it
it was raining
so i put on a jacket
and my walking shoes
and i went out
bought a bottle of wine
and brought it back to my room
the building was quiet
each room
had a person in it
they too were listening
to the quiet
the very quiet
footsteps
of someone
walking about
why were they there
what did they want
soft knocks at my door
the glasses on the shelf
rattled
i opened the door
and
one enduring moment
entered the room
enveloping us both
i was listening to thankyou for sending me an angel by talking heads when i wrote this

Beautiful cloud photos.
Lovely sweet enduring moment- *sigh*...Your cloud photos go well with it- I yearn to ride those clouds- a feeling like, they say, leaving the confines of this body- the expanse of the out there -the all encompassing love thing, a bottle of wine and an open door might be just the remedy for today. It is raining, It is dark, Why do I live here? I guess I will felt myself an angel- and drink the wine while doing so, probably not wise but ever so romantic- may result in much poking injury- "there will be blood!"
Remember, dear Steven- DRESS FOR THE WEATHER! Good advice!
thanks ellen. i figure they're doing their very best! steven
linda sue this moment had an ending in one way about twenty two years ago. but some of its features - notably my first born son - endure!
you leave the confines of your body all the time. look at what you do, how you think, who you are!!!
now it's about the suffering that goes with the creation of soft awesome cool objects . .. hmmm that bears some unpacking!!
i say drink the wine and know your angelic self. steven
music inspires, glad to see you share such a charming piece.
magical imagery.
hello gooseberry, i'm tickled to have my writing described as "charming"! i think that's a first. steven
