Awakenings
It’s an interesting time
Looking
Listening
Watching
Taking my turn at the wheel
And steering the boat
To some different ports
Places that are new, albeit familiar
And the journey
Has itself become something new
With many companions
Walking the line
But within it, there are still moments
Moments that have you stop
And reflect on the past
And look to the future
I’ve caught myself in some of those recently
Just stepping back for a second
And letting the moment wash over me
Taking mental notes of how it all plays out
One moment caught me so much
That I had to write it down
I was at a party
A friend was just chatting me up
Then she stopped, looked to her right
And said in that moment-
“Sometimes I look at my husband
and I can’t believe he’s mine”
It was sweet
Said with so much admiration and love
And I smiled
Hoping one day someone sees me in the same spectacular light
