The Game of Tag
The Game of Tag
(Two of 30 -- NaPo/GloPoWriMo 2019)
If I should look
one day
and unable
to find myself,
Slap me,
Please. I promise
to like it,
the pain.
I will ever be
with You only
biding my time.
Soaring and floating
how is it different?
amidst the starlit
universe, I try to wipe
tears from Your eyes
assurance of memories
encouraging no more
no more tears
for it has always been
and been my course
to wait for You
if I got here first.
My love,
I can’t wait to show
You the universe.

Sigh...this...is so beautiful. It's like hearing an undercurrent whisper things unsaid between words and lines in this poem.

as a student of zen Buddhism
(i will always only be a student)
for me, it's almost always a zen gig
but Yeah, i can see the rose is a rose thing

"for it has always been
and been my course
to wait for You
if I got here first"
i think that is the best bit of the entire thing. so sure. so confidant. so...lovely. and i love the title you've given this one. it allows a playfulness between the narrator and the intended, but also the reader. well done.

I always try to incorporate the title
to be a part of the spill
not apart of the spill
thank You for sharing with me
and for the kind praise

I like the playful way you deal with the theme of '"the Universe meeting us half-way". I often get stressed out trying to figure out 'which is my half to do?' and then stomp my feet complaining "well I'm here; where the hell's the Universe?"- but your words I find soothing to my childish behaviour. Thank you.

why should the universe have all
the fun
half way is a great way to share in the joys
(and pain)
always appreciate Your reads and share
thank You, Josh
