Hello, how are you?

Just another passing question,

Steeped in a shallow muddy puddle,

I want to know what you’re feeling,

Beyond the passing of your days to-do’s,

I want to know what you love, what scares you,

What moves you to joy, what gives you faith to keep going,

What reminds you of life’s sweetness even through the darkest night,

I want to share in your truth, even for a moment,

To touch the heart of your soul and know you,

What excites you in this life, what pulls you to her light,

Is it a blanket of stars in an endless sky,

an ocean so wild it brings awe to your eye,

Maybe a walk in the woods or a banquet of baked goods,

what is it?

It need not take any longer,

But even in those passing few,

Let’s promise to always keep it true.
