SamadhiMuse

         There’s something here with Lise.
           Perceptions cast against the backdrops
         of our agings and experiences
           mourning patience against the morning light
         Warm smiles that have seen much
           shared stories of families and our lives.
         The flicker of low fires against the wind.
           Honesties and compassion
         realisms and understandings
           born of the child’s long passage
         thru the others and our years
           no longer preparing to conquer the world
              but still deeply pressed into living it.
