gratitude for my people

gratitude: my people, those dear to my heart, a simple poem ♡

we sit in the moonlight
a fire dance on our skin
laughing howling tossing
wishes to flame, for more
of this, for less of that
for the life birthed to bloom
how it was always meant to

for the life humming
through our veins to gift us
more kisses in the rain
and held hands and melting
embraces and shared glee
and strong shoulders,
but we don't know, and so

we laugh more, talk more
watch star shimmer tangle
into the kids' hair as the dogs
bark in excitement, as night
grows more noisy before
it once again softens and we
say bye, I love you, drive

safely.
