FEATHERLIGHT KINDNESS

For David C. 

Featherlight expectations,

Soft gratitude

And love,

For a maybe,

A might happen

That didn’t,

Because life whirls and backflips,

Pushing options beneath the surface.

 

Yet we flow with fondness,

Inhale wonderful memories

Recall moments of heart-skipping wonder.

 

Then,

A surprise,

A soon!

And even if this soon

Just maybes

Before evaporating

Into a sorry,

Your words

Land with perfect timing.

Acts of kindness replenish

In this shrug-heavy, dismissive world.

 

Thank you for reaching out again.
