Waymeet

Waymeet

Unwanted
a dark moon rules
this night.

My breath breaks
and I lose the path.
Rethink.
The moon is only dark
because it lacks light.

I catch my breath falling
and lift it up
back among the branches of this oak.

In return
an acorn alights on the palm of my hand
and I plant it
near the cross roads, meeting
of our lives’
chance meeting.

Or was the sun ever sharing rays
with our worlds
initially
so far apart?

Breath picks up pace, takes place
as it should.

I am grateful for our home
by the cross roads.

When next I breathe
it touches your smile…

Hi, Tony, hanx for the kind words. Waymeet as a title refers to the fact that my wife decided to go study English in Amsterdam, while she was liing in the south of France, about 1.200 kilometres south of Amsterdam (roughly aboutĀ 745 miles. I only moved 68 miles up north. As we were a few years apart in our studies (me three ahead), it still feels like a chance meeting at the crossroads. But you know, anything can happen at the crossroads. I was trying to meditate mysel;f out of a 'black' mood in the middle of the night... though the meditation went AWOL, it still worked when I heard my wife sleeping next to me (for 34 years, the noo (Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett).
