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...
