Homebody
I saw nobody today
But the slip of blue tip of salamander tail
slithered between porch floor slats
I saw nobody
But a misplaced butterfly perched on my knee
It landed on my foot and tickled
I heard nobody today
But the wind stirred the deep mountain song of porch chimes
and glass chimes called me home to the beach
I heard nobody
But a lone bird chirped as leaping fall leaves
spun like ballerinas to the ground

That is beautifully written. That is how a LOT of my days go by. I hope you hug somebody today! Here’s an internet hug from me (((YOU)))

Lovely. Made me kind of sad, though.

I was feeling kind of melancholic but also rich in the depths of what only solitude can reach.

Solitude opens our eyes to so many beautiful things indeed. I love this poem Colleen. đŸ™‚
