Soul Food

The sound of the leaves rustling in the breeze
A dog barking in the distance or yawning right before or after a nap

The sound of music that is easy to take

The way water blends and makes a silky sound  

The tone of a content person

A car whizzing by a few blocks away in the middle of the night

A car horn honking goodbye 

The way my heart connects to yours

Kind words whether on the giving or receiving       end 

Birds chirping singing their morning prayers as the sun rises

A laugh or giggle,the tone of voice of a happy person 

   

Two shot glasses tinging to a toast

A sweet whisper softly in your ear

The feeling of fullfillment and satisfaction from an accomplishment

The ability to bless and be blessed by another

May

As glorious as you are mysterious, brutally handsome as you are bitter sweet, sprouting buds, birds and bee's paint mother earths beautiful face with fragrant scents, mouthwatering flavors, fresh flowers the sights and sounds leave one breathless, bewildered in awe and part of the season of change, connected to earth's lavish tapestry.

The wind chimes stir and the cool evening casts curious shadows on the wall as the moon and stars vie for our attention. Meanwhile planes seem to fly playfully in the sky, a dog shakes and her collar clinks against her gold fur, in the distance another dog barks in harmony with the sound of cars driving to and fro.

The sounds of the city create background music with a familiar rhythm that is comforting, often transparent as the melody blends into the day and night. The morning light is welcomed or dreaded accompanied by the sweet sound of birds chirping getting on with the business of welcoming another day in May.
