Togetherness

Hold my hand as I cross the street

Not with the fear of stumbling

But for the joy of...

Being with me

Laugh with me on my jokes

Or the standup acts that play on TV

The humor may go off and the

Anecdotes may dry

But we remember the times

When we laughed so silly

In the kitchen by the fire

Food and wine tossed around

A recipe thrown together

Lingering tastes forever

Moments so special

Platter so ordinary

Visit the usual restaurant

Again and again.

Sitting across the table...

Silently sipping coffee or tea

When noises fade in the background

Like dust after an evening so rainy

Through mundane mornings

Crawling to oh-so-same evenings...

I live in this cloud of togetherness

Showering with ....

Memories of you and me...
