Intimate Moments
Dive in
delve deep
and find my soul
with fingertips
to skim over
the surface
and make it sing
your name
like angels sing
to the rising sun
for it’s with you
that I belong
and my soul
feels alive
with love

The Sweetest Things
Lazy moments
on a comfortable bed
as big as a playground
Long hours
creating worlds
and stories
of love entertwined
Afternoon naps
and alone time
with Luna
Dappled light
thru northern windows
and the rhythmic purrs
of Luna’s love
and you… us…
you
I miss them all so much.

Longing For…
I want time
to feel small
and cherished
with your hand
pressed
over my soul
and your whisper
in my ear
telling me
how loved
I am
and how much
I mean to you
I love you

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Autumn’s Approach
Prompt: “Pull (at least) three cards and use them to describe how it feels for you as Autumn’s approach begins.”
Three of Parchment – Learning the value of teamwork has been a major theme over the last few weeks of the summer, and it feels as we move into the fall that the efforts are starting to pay off and we are working more as a cohesive unit, the burden spread more evenly over multiple sets of shoulders instead of only on yours and yours alone.
Seven of Quills – Although you know exactly how you got into the situation you’re currently in, you’re feeling a bit deceived. Not by the people in your life, but by fate and circumstance. It’s time to turn that around and be clever in finding solutions, though. Don’t allow yourself to be walled off when you have the cunning and strategies available to you to put things on the right track.
Justice – What goes around comes around, or so they say. You get what you give. Remember that this experience in healing someone else is also providing you with a healing experience of your own. This is a theme that is starting to come to light now that you are at the end-game of this time together, and something you weren’t aware of going into this situation in the first place.
All together now…
So much has come to pass over the past few months that approaching Autumn has a very exhausted feel to it this time around (Justice). That weight is starting to lift, though, through the help of others in your life (Three of Parchment), which has allowed for more time to begin working out a way out of your current situation that is best for everyone involved.
Moral of the Story
Freedom’s promise lies on the horizon. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, even if I can’t quite feel it on your face yet.
DECK USED: THE LITERARY TAROT
Gideon’s Challenge
Responsibility
Always ready
and always there
always dependable
and always near
ready to go
at the drop of a hat
when the phone rings
already packed
always on call
for when need does arise
ready and waiting
for when we have to fly
This is my go-bag. I actually have two of these. An old and worn one in gray that is packed for day hikes, and this one which is my emergency bag that is kept packed for running out to the hospital or other types of emergencies.

Tender Moments
I feel delicate
like petals
splayed wide
and fine stamen
stretching
to seek
the lightest touch
while the barest
flush of color
skims over skin
to speak
of the vulnerability
I feel
for you
