Evening Sojourn

We sat and drank our coffee on a summer's eve in June, talking away the hours until rain clouds hid the moon. You spoke about the future, I was buried in the past. We wound up in the present, time with you is unsurpassed. I love our little journeys, these excursions of the mind. Unsure of where we're going, never knowing what we'll find. With you there is a closeness that I've never known before, a unity of being that leaves me wanting more. Day has turned to darkness as the cool night settles in, I'm anxious for tomorrow when it all begins again.

Your poem is so beautifully intimate, J. I love the mix of emotions expressed with delicacy. It’s wonderful to sojourn with one’s soulmate... though a temporary respite, it can’t stop anxiety for tomorrow from creepy back in. Evocative and emotive poetry! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
