living remotely


I’m not interested
in your workflow
I would rather see you
slow dance under the moonlight

the flowers in the garden
are not meant
to be picked
but if you like you may
deadhead them
when the time is right

you once asked if angels
reside in the cumulus clouds
I wonder if you remember
my one-word answer

in the dead of winter
I can see you perfectly
smiling in my peripheral
can feel your presence
even though I have no idea
where you may be

  2. Love this, John…and I wouldn’t mind someone helping deadhead the garden *smiles
