Hope Spirals
Because I didn't hear from you today
I drank a half bottle of wine tonight,
played piano with passion,
revisited old disappointments and
glimpsed new ones,
saw what's missing in my life
and that you're unable to restore it.
I walked in the country,
listened while sitting in meditation,
felt gratitude pulling weeds by the freesias,
cooked a good dinner for one and
wrote a poem for you
that turned out to be for me.
