This is for you all ...

Touched

The smallest tremor 

of your heartstrings 

ripples through my fingertips, 

cellular earthquakes 

echoed between my quarks.  

I am infused, 

your essence finds entry 

and floods me, 

changing this wasteland 

into lush expanses.  

There springs the miracle 

of creation 

as I am well seeded and fertile 

having been enriched 

by your presence.  

What once was solum 

now burst with new life; 

my soul is littered 

with the expelled husks 

of emergent seedlings 

and my mind swollen 

with the promise of full bloom 

and the heralded harvest.

Thank you to all the beautiful, supportive, inspiring, provocative, uplifting, weird, funny, crazy people that have filled my days with wonder and delight.

Two of my favourite people came to be friends even though our first interaction was an argument (me? argue? never!).  Others just punched me in the face with their love, humour and smarts.

How did I get so lucky to have harvested such a dynamic crop?  Thank you so much to all those who've gifted me your time and attention.

Much love to you all.
