Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I was on a hillside above the ocean
the moon was full
firecrackers are going off in various directions
as the reflections are cast upon the ocean. Love looks different now
from a distance
I watched the events of my life like a movie
in slow motion
I had left when it was too painful
but my body was still there
going thru the motions
pretending it was ok
I stopped
I know love
what it looks like, feels like...
I am safe now
I forgot once! Not for long
like a spider bite
it s venom has a way of reminding us
how powerful the small creatures are
weaving strands of silk into the sweetness of my heart
healing what was broken
I was here on the hillside on ten acres welcoming the new year!

I love it. funny how the smallest moments are sometimes the biggest indelible memories. hard to explain.

it's easy to miss the good stuff if we're going way over the speed limit,

a fine poem for the new year........
