This is for you all ...

Touched

The smallest tremor

of your heartstrings

ripples through my fingertips,

cellular earthquakes

echoed between my quarks.

I am infused,

your essence finds entry

and floods me,

changing this wasteland

into lush expanses.

There springs the miracle

of creation

as I am well seeded and fertile

having been enriched

by your presence.

What once was solum

now burst with new life;

my soul is littered

with the expelled husks

of emergent seedlings

and my mind swollen

with the promise of full bloom

and the heralded harvest.

Thank you to all the beautiful, supportive, inspiring, provocative, uplifting, weird, funny, crazy people that have filled my days with wonder and delight.

Two of my favourite people came to be friends even though our first interaction was an argument (me? argue? never!). Others just punched me in the face with their love, humour and smarts.

How did I get so lucky to have harvested such a dynamic crop? Thank you so much to all those who've gifted me your time and attention.

Much love to you all.
