Practicing Kindness

Hesitant small creature,
I am bent into myself.
A kind, unassuming animal.
We both stare at the bumblebee.
In the next room,
I waited.

I know that familiar hello.
The hello not meant for me.
The hello you great someone else with.
That was once mine.
Thanks for calling ahead, for giving notice.
Thanks for the last night. Moving on, though -

To tell myself that I will not assume.
Hold good graces.

To tell yourself that this person is in love with you,
hold good graces.

When you value your life,
you can walk heavy footed.
Oh but how my feet are tender at the moment. Searching wildly for the same old cracks.

But the road has been paved with good intentions,
hold good graces.
