Home For Now

Home for now!

The coffee is cold, 
even though I used the
microwave. 
Funny. 
I was around 
when the first one
was sold. 
We were so amazed!
Magic in a box...
but not a miracle. 

My guy is home,
but he is still sick. 
I can not beat the phantom
of bad with a stick...
or I would!
A lot of times, 
I would never stop. 

I pray now for all that is to happen. 
Each day a gift to be opened anew. 
Every part in my heart stable, 
but un-accepting of the inevitable. 
The predictable, 
the foreseeable,
the expected... 
denied! 

Cherished small talk. 
Skipping stones,
and long walks. 
Summer breezes, 
until the winter freezes. 
That is the "gift" of now, 
and the promise of...
forever.
