All at Once

The lonely night is over. She can't have both cloudy days and clear nights. If she wants to see the stars, count the planets, get lost in the galaxy, then suffering through that harsh winter sun is part of the equation too. And tonight, that's ok. 

Oh how they wave back at her devotion with a twinkle or a shoot across the sky. If stars can dance, then so can she. 

Waking up to the crispy cold frost that awaits, slowly drifting out of her dream state, she rolls over. Having migrated to his side of the bed, she finds warmth. Left to her own devices, 5’5” can conquer an entire king sized bed. She is mighty after all. Dilation begins to shrink as the spotty rays sneak in through the meticulously selected grey linen curtains that cascade down either side of the window. The two mysterious emerald universes on either side of her nose squint (waking up the wrinkles too) and then arrives the most satisfying big full body stretch with the faintest squeak at the end. She signals to the morning she’s joined. It is a good morning. This is a really good morning.

Floating to the kitchen, coffee is already dripping. Deliciousness fills the air, a mix of mocha, christmas ferns, and joy.  She peeks out the window. He is already up minding the garden in a melody of meditation. How she admires the pristine rows, the care given to even the corners never observed. Mastering his craft, he looks up. Feeling those adoring eyes observing, how could he not meet them. 

There’s no place to be. Just in this cozy moment, locked in, Knowing this is then, now, and forever all at once.
