every now and then
something will remind me
of how you came and saved me
caught my fall, behind me
every once in a while
i'll see a mouth shaped like yours
my breath will catch in my throat
my feet will slow under me
every day a random thought
will take me back - like soul remote
inches from your face, i feel
your breath warm and sweet and almost real
every night i wonder if
our paths might cross like corny ships
i'd send a ship hand with a note
just to say thanks for keeping me afloat
so wherever you might be tonight
still so far away, or returned from flight
i send you this will thanks and love
and hope you found what you were in search of
(a song whisked me back 12 years tonight, straight out of the blue, as songs do. the above was a poor & clumsy attempt to exhale some of the warm summer memories it swept back. and also to send out my love and gratitude for the gifts those few brief weeks brought. they are happy memories, but there's always an ache with the smile they bring. and that's ok. there's a great story here, but now's not the time.)

I'm a huge fan of all you write. I found you on twitter in March... but I deleted my account now... It's nice to know I can still come here and read about your lovely thoughts. They take me some place else. :)
"Thank you" is one of my favorites.
