Composed 4/14/13
Description: It was beautiful outside today, so I decided to go for a walk. It turned out to be very inspiring. About every ten feet I thought of a new line, stopped, and typed it into my phone (because of course I had failed to bring a single scrap of paper or a writing utensil).
Beautiful days
When I’m walking alone
That’s what I crave
A hand to hold
Long slender fingers
And mostly not talking
Focused too much
On nature and walking
Occasional laughing
Words in my ear
Lovely, sweetheart,
Darling, dear
Some people watching
But mostly alone
Ignoring the beeps and blurps
Of our phones
Marveling life
And single red roses
Til raindrops fall
On our cheeks and our noses
Chasing and racing
Until we find cover
And smiles –
Just glad to have one another
Back to reality
A gust of cold
All just words
Crammed into my phone
Scraps of Paper
