Whispered Awareness
He was a loner
He longed for something
To his cat…
I could use a purr or two
To his dog…
I could use your chin on my lap
To his nightmares…
I could really use a break
To his introverted self…
I could use a reason to be happy
To the woman at the bar…
I could use your hand touching mine
To the woman on his arm…
I could use your company
To the hotel clerk…
We could use a room with a view
To the elevator operator…
We could use the 6th floor
To the female ushered into his room…
Maybe this wasn’t a good idea
To the man/boy weeping…
She took his hand
Gently kissed it
Placed it on her heart
Beautiful view out there
His eyes asked the question
What do I need?
Her smile gave answer
Loving yourself
Before you can love others
Her head lowered to his shoulder
His to her head
To the man inhaling deeply…
She placed his hand in hers
You are not alone
Through the starlit window…
Like you
Like me
Out there is much of the same healing need
had to turn it into a wordsmithing wonder! Beautiful.
