All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

How extraordinary typical love
Making eggs at midnight and this comes to me? It started as a list. How average can we be when we love and how comfortable it is knowing it is typical. I'm going to eat now, fix this later, or not.




Typical Love

As ordinary as oatmeal,
the collared dog that must walk,
like sunshine that was there
when you first got up
still burning behind the mask...
As free as that bird builds
a nest in the garage gutter,
like leaves, gentle, obey the winds
falling, falling, falling down
to your ground
to lay...
Our lips embrace
forever.

Two twigs low,
commingled,
once swayed in soaring tree,
grows a canopy above,
warm shelter
for two children, three cats,
those hamsters content
clucking,
chittering like raindrops
in our hearts.

Small hands, tender,
wrap ours,
typical,
calling, calling, calling
'come watch...'
Know innocence, true beauty,
how we heal them
in the night
from bad dreams,
unjustly pained by sickness
inside
where we are safe
to dream. We,
a typical love,
we share our stories together
so others know
how ordinary as oatmeal.


I take inspiration where I can find it. Shine it. Hold it up for you to see it glowing, still growing. Thanks, to thee.
