Description
Word came in the night
on the breath of darkness
without a sound...
Yet I heard the whispering
calling me from another room.
After I offered gratitude to the Universe,
Gratitude for Grace,
I expected no response.
Before daybreak, I walk wooden floors
creaking beneath my slight weight
moaning at the terms of service.
I slip out of bedclothes.
Flannel and satin drop
onto the warm, dark brown finish
as cotton and spandex take their place-
from the business of night I change
into the business of early dawn.
Pattering quietly to the kitchen
I hear the beep and flip open the phone.
There is a name I haven't seen
in weeks passing into months.
Apprehension fills me suddenly.
Yet, with words like, "still angry"
and "hard to say" all mixed up with "happy birthday,"
I hear the sound of hope.
Perhaps one day, "still" will gave way to "no longer"
"hard to say" will give way to "needed some time"
and "happy birthday" will be something we can celebrate together again.
For now, though...
I'll just take the Hope.
I could've asked for nothing better
as a birthday gift this year.

Ah, yes, haven't we all been there, waiting, wondering, hoping?? I can almost feel it.
