A Walk With My Husband

Crisp, fall air
Night falls so soon
Walking around with a warm drink in hand
The other hand warmed by the palm of a lover
My blessing wrapped around me like a shawl made of sunlight
Right now, in this moment, I would not be another
Speaking no words
Thinking big thoughts
Our footsteps provide a gentle cadence
For a moment my eyes close, I savor the sounds
Cars passing, conversation, leaves alive on the street
I am happy, right now, in this second I've found
