Gratitude
Standardsunday mornings
paying the bills
doing the laundry
watching the cat
watch the birds
such mundane things
were never part
of my dreams
full of sparkly flash
beyond my means
it’s when time
moves faster
than you imagined
and takes more
than you want to give
that quiet mornings
and cups of coffee
fill the void with
grateful thoughts

Speak
Standarda simple hello
means the same
as I love you
your silence
says more than
poetry or flowers
you kiss my forehead
after a long day
a moment so brief
yet intimate with
words you don’t
have to speak
