Long Way Out
by Alison McKenzieToday I fed a friend -
Good food and nurturing conversation
Healing stones and time,
Plenty of time.
Her hazel eyes sparkled in the sun.
She fed me, too,
Gratitude leaning my head to
Her outstretched palm.
Today I am full up and laughing.
Today I built castles and
The tide is a long way out.

Heavenly poem, Alison. Heavenly. |
