Spanish Lullaby

~ thereluctantpoet

A Tangle of Weeds

Aromatic words kissed my wanton ears
Like soft drops of rain on arid ground
Que pasa que pasa the world shouted to me
All I could I hear was my beloved’s beckoning sound

Jasmines and orchids coiled into a garland
My body became a fragrant paradise
Te amo te amo the wind whispered and giggled
Blushing, I brushed the hair away from my eyes

The sun kowtowed in the distance giving me a cue
Blinking once or twice to the stars swinging by
Corazon corazon the moon clapped and rejoiced
As the wind hastened to sing him my Spanish lullaby

Mommy Writes A Book

The act of holing up at home and liking it.

Symptoms may include, but are not limited to:

Avoiding all news and social media, as well as the laundry.

Leaving people on read for extended periods of time, ranging from 2-3 days.

Excessive Pinterest rabbit holing and pinning shit you will never look at again.

Inability to change clothing for 2 days.

Crocheting.

Opting for a bandana instead of a mask.

Irritability in forced social interactions with people who are obviously bored easy and more needy than you.

Overuse of toilet paper, because you have enough to last until July and need the storage space.

Going outside to throw a football with yourself because you miss sports.

Texting every ex going back 2 years to “check on their covid status”.

Happy Taco Tuesday! Who is all having tacos tonight? Tacos with chips and salsa, Yum! Add some rice with it and I am ready for supper.

I was just chatting with my sister-in-law this morning and she told me about what she had heard on the news. In Utah, a 5 year old boy decided to take the family car out on a errand! He pulled onto the interstate and was weaving and swerving so badly that a cop pulled him over. The cop was thinking that he was either going to find someone who was drunk or having medical problems. He was in for a big shock when he found a little boy behind the wheel. Apparently he was on his way to buy a Lamborghini with the 3 dollars that he had on him.  Cars have really went down in price apparently! 🙂 Very glad the cop found…

Gratitude for a place in the pattern.

Every piece of the universe, even the tiniest little snow crystal, matters somehow.

I have a place in the pattern, and so do you….
T.A. BarronWRITER

I loved reading the above quote and am sharing it here with great joy and a few words…

There is space for every place in the pattern.

Gratitude to the powers that are
In the spaces between
The two words, two beings or two breaths.
Between stillness and movement.

Savvy
