Curious

tendency

to seek the Other

never wasting 

the occasion

like one would

reach for a Hand

seek warm comfort

under the blankets.

If a person's mere presence

gives you comfort peace

healing acceptance

if you can't help 

but look at her 

no matter

what she's doing

if all her 

revelatory words

feel like

primordial

necessities

because

of her Voice

if she smiles

when you talk

(amused

pleased

proud

endeared

happy)

and even

when you don't

if she's truthful

yet will not

inflate happenstance

occurrences

into gnawing

biting gnashing

clawing tearing

beasts of wrath

if Time is easy

and light

when your

vibrancies meet

if her Gaze

reaches out

and includes

you

gently

inquiring

wondering

tentatively

if all is well

cherish Her

nurture

the Love

savor it

and Live.
