I.
Fickle encounters,
A twitching eyelid—
A keepsake,
A stitch
Mistimed.
No accident.
You are a key
In the ignition;
An integral switch.
Not a glitch
In the very thing.
No accident.
II.
Peace can be found
In a loud moment
For all the noise
After some time
Tends to fade away,
As if you
Were on the road
Even when your mind
Was on the railway.
III.
Cobwebbed bulbs
Clear desk drawers
Vacant vases
No apples in a bowl
With a person
As empty as
The house.

All three are amazing, the first one of which speaks to me the deepest about being just as we are, whole, complete, and of importance. Lovely writes, Aaysid.

These are so thought-provoking. After reading each one, I had to stop for a bit and let what I just read sink in, then read it again. These are profound and touching and beautiful. I love all of them. Your light really shines brightly in these, Aaysid. 🙂
