I Find Interesting
A few planned weeks of solace pass me by, quiet, restful
An oasis of peace for me and dog, away from the maddening crowd
Time to reflect, write, work a little, walk much
And as the season changes into winter, to enjoy the palette of change
To sit by a warm fire, evenings to savour, thoughts to sift
Yet there is still a feeling, every minute I find that I am not complete
Not whole, missing the one person who has joined my life
And as happy as I am, in my world of stillness, I long for the day of her return
Now as I drive to the world outside, the arrival of my love by train
To see her there at the station, knowing she comes to join me
My feelings mix, like youth my butterflies return, as does my love
And as we hug there on the path, my completeness returns, whole once more
Then as the next days pass, as we talk, relax, walk outside, sit and view
Exchanging words, thoughts, small things yet so meaningful
To go from being alone to being part of two once more
A contrast, juxtaposition, sharing, caring, doing, being
I contemplate how much I cherish solitude, silence, slow pace
And then how much I value to lose the aloneness and embrace my partner
I exchange some for the other and still find the joy I need
These mirrors, reflections of being, I find interesting
