I'm happy just to know you're there
On occasion, our paths cross:
fragments of interaction
encouragement
kindness
laughter
Even more infrequently, a conversation:
immediately comfortable
close and vulnerable
deep support
understanding
more laughter
I won't tell you
how these connections light up my heart
To say it aloud
would bring a weight of expectation
I don't care
if it's mutual or not
I'm happy just to know you're there
When we are nothing but starlight
I'm certain my soul will recognize yours
winking slyly at me
singing your heart song
from across the sky

Thank you, Brenda! I'm learning to hold these friendships more lightly, without losing gratitude for them...

ps. Somehow I unfollowed a bunch of poets a while back when I was overwhelmed... I fixed it now. 😊

This is a beautiful and touching read to come across today, it actually transcends the themes chosen here because it serves as a reminder that we're all trying to navigate through life individually and together, in a society that is struggling through difficult climates financially, environmentally, socially and politically, we all need some reassurance humanity still exists especially around this time of the year when it hits extreme hard for some individuals, it brings some light into the proceedings and that's what I adore most about this piece.
Thank you for sharing ♥️

Well hullo there stranger! 😃
I'm glad this touched you. These little connections are important... even if they're ephemeral. Especially this time of year, as you said.

I'm with you on that one, connection in every shape and form is precious and important, we never know how long they will last for, have to hang on to them while we can 😌
Still around, I don't know I think thirty has a strange way of making life a bit wonky, nevertheless i'm here for it 🥹
Happy to see you're still here writing away, you always have a way of lighting up the place with your poems and singing, thank you for being one of those who make us smile, laugh and say damn i'm not the only one who's thought or felt that, it's a gift
Love atcha 🐒 ♥️

Gratitude for it's own sake. That's a beautiful thing. One I'm familiar with, as it happens. There's a soul warming just knowing they're out there somewhere, existing

Thank you for your kind words! I had to write this down because so often I fall into the more clingy end of connection... capturing the pure gratitude in words makes it easier to live it, if that makes any sense...

Dear K,
Ethereal. I really enjoyed the special bond of connecting but don’t talk about it for the sake of not creating undue expectation. How that resonated. The last stanza... Raw emotion wrapped in poetic gold. Beautiful piece. H🌷

A crush?! Oh hell!
Just go for it! Be a little flirty. Simple compliments are great ice breakers. And humor is the secret allure!
I love your write. But i want you to go for it!

Oh, I did!! But it was/is a friend-crush, there's not much to "go for" other than simply staying connected. Being able to achieve that over the challenge of distance makes my heart glad. 😊
And this is really written to many, many people... you can count yourself in.
Thanks so much for being out there!

Ohhhhh!
I was just having a short PM conversation with someone in here, telling them to be brave and find those good hearted writers to converse with. And to not let the "questionable" ones run them off. It's really all about the camaraderie of writing here. Positivity creates an environment for productivity. Ultimately, we should strive to be better writers, right? And in the inbetweens, make it somewhere that encourages others to keep going too.
You're a shining light, ya know.
