it was to be a day of cosmic joy
that day, long months past-
an ordinary January
Sunday.
Joy came on the
sweeping in
of cherished friends,
Manuel and Alessandro-
treated me to Sunday brunch…
gifted me with an elegant
leather journal
gilt-edged pages.
they are
dear ones
who stir the heart,
inviting words to flow
from the soul outward
to the page. These two
who delight,
because of their total
UN-pretentiousness
and love.
