Description
Two cups of tea,
filled over and again-
One with saucer...
One quite without.
He came to me
from a place more distant
than miles suggest
on silver wings.
I took him in,
gathered in my embrace,
until rested...
he felt this home.
Acknowledging-
we reached out past the Past.
Where are we now?
In this Moment.
Tea pot boiling
on the stove in silence.
We, too, warming
cold leftovers.
And he held me
in the darkness so close
and gave me thanks
for not leaving.

Beautifully crafted; flows so well. I hope the moment contained all that you hoped for and more.

Lovely. You have painted us a wonderful picture!

This is beautiful... soft and warm and vague enough to leave you thinking about the particulars after you're done reading.

Portia was unaware, either on purpose or by chance, that Wallace could hear her thoughts from time to time. Sometimes he wasn't actually hearing her thoughts, it just so happened that when two minds think the same things so often, statiscally it's not possible that the thoughts wouldn't overlap. Other times, Wallace was more or less empathic enough to "get it." Regardless, Portia was right about the situations, the simulacrum, and anxiety with sharks. Some of the sharks circling the waters Wallace treaded were hungry, some merely were looking for companionship. Wallace couldn't tell the different in the two. It sometimes felt like teeth were grazing his flesh, and other times he swore he felt kisses. So, there he was. wrapped in the mundane, feeling closer than ever to the superb. He could only hope to have more questions answered that he was yet to ask.
