We share load in my rucksack
and agree, no need for bells and whistles
We assist each other navigate difficulties
and agree, anything can be accomplished
We quench our thirst from a well of love
and agree, love is a beautiful thing
We dine outdoors with birds singing
and agree, it’s time to dance
We take pleasure in dancing positions
and the moon approves.

I like this one so much, Khaya. There is a sense of companionship, of love, of completeness, of adventure, of wonder… And I love how cradling all these things is nature.
Many thanks, Maga!
A lovely poem, Khaya, full of a sense of rightness in the world. Thanks so much for brightening my day. <3
Awww, Diana! Thank you. I try in my small way to demonstrate that there’s still so much rightness in the world. Have a wonderful week, my friend! <3
That rightness and hope is important, Khaya, now more than ever.
