Recipe for Rainbows

A tummy not tied in knots.
A smile as long and everlasting as the colours.
No fight flight or freeze.

A walk outside in the breeze.

Glances that don't mean trouble.
Touch that is always safe and comfortable
Words that can be believed.

A love grown from seed.

Hands held tightly, palm to palm
A voice that brings flickers of joy
Coffee shared together

Adventures whatever the weather.

Sleep safely and soundly
Warm blankets pulled up to chins.
Toes that caress the other

A sweet lover.

Long days inside when it rains
No desire to escape
Preparing soul food to nourish

Watching our plants flourish
