A secretive smile

     One day I want to hug. Hold tightly. Running
now. Searching. Seeking. Hoping deeply.

     May my thoughts be heard. May the prayers not
sound selfish. May the memories cease when
asking for guidance.

     Lightly a laugh bubbles over the memories.
Escaping my lips in a form of "pfft". Sounds of a
cynic. Not intending to be such but a hope for
some goodness, still echoes deep inside.

     The conscience is clear. The heart is torn, hurt
for the ache that is beating harshly. Oh walk it
off. Sleep it off.

     A drive that makes all disappear. Clear of the
people that play on my mind. Family. Friends.

     Quietly I slip outside. Holding a smile over my
face as a simple photo lit across my eyes. One
drawing I sketched at random. Oh so good. A
blissful minute.

     Quirky I am. Bouncing to the notes of Sade,
Norah Jones and Adele. Ah soothing parts of me
that needed a calm.

    Hmm. Licking lips as I prepare to sing along.

    Here I am thinking, tossing ideas and writing a
few to electronic paper. Thoughts, feelings that
erupt throughout core. Senses so alert. Feeling
so saucy. Grateful that these strong female voices
uplift me.

    A secretive grin is displayed across freckled
cheeks. Hmm makes you wonder, right?
