blue blazers
and
gold buttons
you did not fall in line
curiosity
and
intuition
were the pool from which you drunk
you have
never
remained still
on the murky pond bottom
but have
always
rushed to the top
gasped for air
clean
wet
new
and on you have gone...

beautiful words for this sweet find
ReplyDeleteIs it trivial to say that I love the title? Because I do. And you want to know what else I love? That it gave you such a sense of accomplishment and contentment to post these words (as expressed in the post above)...

Thank you. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMaria- I'm a big fan of titles, so I don't see title loving as trivial--not at all. Love away!
Love that sweet conversation.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Molly. The words in this post were originally typed on an old typewriter that I found at a thrift store with my dad. I love how the old keys make imperfect letters on the page. It was written as a Christmas gift for someone special.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteAlexandria- Thanks!
