Contentment
Seeking “contentment.”
I find you in simplicity
I lose you in expectation
I trap you in memories
And free you in dreams
I search for you in positive affirmation
And hold you briefly in the arms of a loved one
A rarity to experience you in your entirety
You never last but neither do you stay away
A moment of bliss…
With an expanded series of perfect moments
These canyon walls have seemingly funneled you towards me
Where we ride the rapids of breathless adventure
And flow easily to the eddies of rest and rejuvenation
Dropping in…
You jumped so eagerly into my boat
And for once, my lips held a smile
Rather than a question
“How long will you stay?”
When I climbed out of my boat
On the sandy shoreline of our destination
I could see your impression in my footprints
My wants and needs aligned
Finding freedom and a purpose divine
Life reset to the ancient canyon’s slower time
A stunning “reset” button.
