She pours her soul tenderly on the table

A quiet

Shhhh not now

I AM

Receiving

She swirls her emotions with her finger tip

A dance

Steps forward

I remove myself from the exact words of conversation and

get lost in her movements

as she doesn't bother to get up

to wipe the water she spilt

Shhhh not now

I AM

Retrieving

Her eyes don't blink through her tears

The stories of the years

I could feel all her fears

The swell of the Trumpeters

Just

dissolve

Her song drifting in and out of my ears

Sometimes it's hard to hear

But this is dance, the tango of two

Of friends down and out

none of us

really know what to do

Except sit a few...

These are the ways I get to know you

She shares her mystery's

Untangling her history

The beauty

and the misery

Suddenly her face and body straighten

And abrupt

I'm back

Awaken

I AM

Haven
