Just Being

 

First Answered piece for The Magic of Non-Sense #1

Just Being

I'd sit legs crossed on the porch,

the sun high in the sky over my head 

its warm rays bathing my face-
I'd sit and watch him in the yard, 

watch him work

watch him roll the rickety metal mower 

back and forth 

back and forth

Just being 

That quiet settled feeling-- an easiness 

that forms when you've joined your life 

with another.

Just being

For a moment we lived together

loving
drinking
laughing
screaming
crying
dreaming
dancing

Just being  

That's when I loved him the most.
That moment.
