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.
