Your Beautiful Life

A. Spectre · 02-09-2016, 08:40 AM

My next door neighbors have been married for 54 years, She is entering the beginning stages of Alzheimer's, which has been painfully evident these last few years.

The three of us were chatting it up this morning over coffee and She stumbled and fumbled when speaking about Her daughter, She could not come up with her name.

He, gently said the daughter's name without missing a beat, held her hand and kissed her.

She has bewilderment in Her eyes, He has understanding and love that is immeasurable.

She is beautiful, He is beautiful, They are beautiful.

I'm in love with the beautiful color of the sky on my way home. The sun has set, it's a golden orange to the west and the blue of the sky turns to dusk when I look to the east. Such an incredible event, everyday. Lucky to see when it's not stormy

Peeling a blood orange for the first time. Beautiful surprise ...

- re-reading "a clean well-lighted place."
- hearing Cassandra Wilson's version of "Love is Blindness"
- a fellow poet's encouragement to write "even when not inspired"

Watching the crows trying to get a rise out of our feral cat. They were not successful, but I found just watching them seem to work together compelling and beautiful.
