What a remarkable, beautiful poem, Trish. I felt joy, sorrow, worry, hope, elation and and deep sense of peace. I love "companions appear whenever I keep my eyes open." Indeed, you have made them appear for me in this wonderful heart song. I am grateful you are in this world.
Companionship
These days I am finding
that I am never alone.
Companions appear
wherever I keep my eyes open.
The morning moon
surprises me with her
unexpected presence.
The mama deer bravely
leaves the winter woods
to munch on grass
she finds in our winter yard.
Empty tree branches
wave to me as I walk,
showing me how
yielded they are to
the wind that comes their way.
An old friend
sends a message,
proving I was on her mind.
A total stranger and I
laugh in the parking lot
as we realize we are both
hustling to get ready
for the holidays.
I hear a song and
remember loved ones
gone too soon,
feeling them with me
as I listen.
Eating my lunch,
I realize all the people
and things and nature
that worked together
to bring me my food,
realizing they are all
here with me.
Filled with gratitude,
I know I am never alone.
So many companions.
"Companions appear wherever I keep my eyes open" yes! ❤️
