Hello Wild Walk #writers
One fish caught my eye today. A single white shadow in a cloud of black.

Back then,
time felt limitless,
existing
in a #whirlwind
of #cheer, laughing,
clinking glasses
blood flowing
red as #holly
when the creak of our
own bones #menaced
at the edges
we felt the #exodus
of the free rides
life had given us
time for the hard graft
time to pay back
all the hours
we stole.

We were with the #holly
As we made rather jolly
Despite a few recent follies,
The mistletoe had still found
Us, sniffed us like a hound-
Now we devoted to this ground.

Boughs of #holly? Check.
Mistletoe? Check.
Baubles and tinsel? Check.
Singing, dancing, and merriment? Check.
A dozen different winter festivals brought together with the Feast of the Nativity? Check.
Christmas confirmed.

Smallness
The little fish
drifts into the shoal
under the shadow of the moon.
Above,
a small cloud slips
into a bank.
Moon is hidden,
water stills.

As kids, we soared
like a #murmuration
of birds- a #shoal
of the air, swimming
those blue skies,
high on whatever
our creativity
could devise
life endeavoured
to tether us
to the #pecan
brown ground—
now
we #bend only
to the beat
of reality
yet, our
clipped wings
still spread
toward the sky.

Feeding from air,

painted lips exhaling

The feeling arrived
like a #meteor
crash landing
into my heart,
which #raced
to a #jovial beat.
I cherished it like
a delicate #orchid
wrapped in
a protective #mesh,
holding it through
summer's sun
& now, with winter's
frosty chill,
I hold it closer still,
to be my sun
'til spring's return.
