Fresh and cool it entered
then swayed and left,
or seemed to,
me and you,
the saddest
flowers
in the sun.
But the heat that kissed the space just above my skin
told me the truth
I didn’t know until then.
Time entered and sighed and I listened so hard,
I pressed my ear against the
tight spot in my heart.
Feathers ruffled, a moment shuffled,
the breeze stung my eyes and made me cry (it didn’t mean to).
Breath filled me and called me and kissed me
on the inside.
Love shifted and swayed and seemed to say,
a word that only
the tight spot,
deep in my heart needed to hear.
one
soft,
perfectly
fragrant
word…..
Aaahh…that is so sweet…what wonderful words…connecting heart, mind and soul as one. A lovely poem indeed…God Bless and thank you SP.

In all honesty, I’m not entirely sure what that word would be. But I am certain that the concept of one word’s impact in this application is something that drives into the core of our emotions. That one word when we’re on the edge of ourselves can be all it takes to send us somewhere we never thought we’d go.

I had a friend that carried a notebook everywhere she went and asked all those she met ‘if you could take one word to a desert island what would that word be?’ she wrote every word that people came up with down. Not sure what her objective was or even if she had one…. but i thought it was interesting and dedicated! Theword that worked for me in that moment was ‘is’ don’t even really know why. could speculate but really it just felt right….still does actually!

Interesting. “is” seems to be an applicable, yet viable choice. A word that connects our description and existence of the things around us.
