What They See

I called him today
He was genuinely interested in the things I write
and did with me what he taught which was be
engaging
thoughtful
informed
slightly ahead of the curve.

And I could tell, finally at 71 today, he's proud of me.

She wrote me today, her first words her last as well
those three that come hard but are worth the wait
wholesome
deep
soul startling
and with more meaning than I think I know.

And I could tell, at thirty seven two months ago...

That the two things in my life I ever needed to hear with meaning,with or without words, happened on the same day.

I can die okay now. Please don't take me, it's just getting good.
