I love windows

I love air

I love opening a window 

to let in air

I love walking

I love the ground

I love feeling the solid

earth under my feet as I walk

I love smiles

I love gentle

I love the gentle smile

on the face of a beloved

I love waking

I love sleeping

I love waking in the morn

with the light

I love the moonlight

as I settle in for the night

Life is hard

full of chores and conflict

and timelines and worries,

but love rises in our hearts,

a balm to all,

focus on the love

and all becomes a flow

of what is loved.
