wishes granted...

how i wish i could have begun my day today

writing, sharing

memories of a beautiful weekend

coloring my mind in jewel tones

how i wish i could have begun my day today

by whispering to you the joy i feel

the hope

the excitement

this being the first monday as i enter into my 50th year

with 353 days ahead to prepare for

a whole new decade in my life

how i wish you could feel too

the tickley, anxious, alive feeling

inside me as i look forward

to being, doing, saying, living

according to my own scruples

that of a childgirlwoman who is realizing wings

that remained hidden until now,

folded in wait for the day

when at last i could decipher

the song my heart has been beating

since the day my story began

how i wish you knew

how i just couldn't wait to start putting it down

here where i share

everyday miracles

with you

whose heart beats the same song

as mine

but alas, today is monday

and while i was wishing

i was also working

so i had to wait until now

to say

hello friend

happy monday

just

happy

-t.

it made me think of all the words in my heart that i love

to put here for you. thank you and thank you some more!
