Counting faces


This is only one reason I tried this like the greats used to.

Being influenced by the flow of the liquid…

Remembrance is like nature beautiful and stoic on its own.

Surrounded by the ones who I’ve made the best of memories with,

The kind of memories that never leave,  laughs echo throughout

Our years by each others side.

My plight is right where I need it.

I freeze frame the looks in their eyes, branded in my

 Head as a memory , because it’s my property.

I have a love like no other.

Warm and welcoming like the warm burn of the sun.

Realizing that the warmth more than a tune by a band of greats.

Having what I need around me keeping me within reason.

I care for who I love without hesitation or reserve, its

Easy for me.  Easy like it was two plus two, easy like it

Was something to do.

Easy like I was born to this is obviously a burden at times

Not like a stop light that won’t change colors when you’re late,

But the stubbed toe on the table corner.

My plight is right where I need it.

I have a love like no other.
