Yes

Yes!




Despite the race against time
I say yes to this little moment
Of tenderness

It becomes a lifetime of memory

My pen glides
Against the smooth white paper
Of poetry and words

It becomes my work of a lifetime

My green fingers
Say yes to this garden
Of trees, shrubs and herbs

It becomes my solace and hideaway

My heart, will and soul
Say yes to this embrace
Welcoming him to my space

He becomes my other self

A buffer against the many reasoned 'No'

    1. Dear Kat,
      In the garden, I am also on auto mode sometimes. Oblivious to everything else, the garden is my best destress therapy.

      I still did not find your cat!

  10. The little one is there, right in the first stanza. This poem was written immediately after Ilena gve me a very tender goodnight kiss for 'the best Mum in the whole world!' She was having a slight fever, and as such was being pampered big time.
