Something about you-
A taken woman
You are
As well as growing on me.
You are a muse for my wayward mind-
Something intriguing about the way you move and carry yourself and your life
On those tall shoulders of yours.
Soon to be gone
You are-
In and out of my life on that busy street
With ease and a quiet smile you entered
I’m sure you will leave the same way.
I don’t think I have said as many unknowingly insulting things to anyone I barely knew
as much as i did to you-
And both times your reaction was sweet and quietly withholding of the truth you have come to know
I learned a lot from those moments-
Your grace
My ignorance
Your ease
My quick and broad generalizations
Still you invited me to sweat with you in a quiet room
Where things are purged and newness invited in
You invited me to become a better person beside you through movement and intention
And I will never forget that.
You have come to settle in my mind as a sweetness that few come to occupy, behold or otherwise obtain
I thank you for what you have quietly given me-
Proper and otherwise….
