PRESENCE

With no trace of the past,

no prior hurt or regret tethered to it,

the present moment came unbidden

borne only of generosity of spirit,

with poetry on the tongue,

and with every part of its message 

behaving as an invitation infused 

with levity, love and light.

Presence has never been so easy

to be with, its spunk and spontaneity 

seeming to say: it's good 

to hear your voice again.

It now hangs in a state of grace, 

hammock-like, waiting to see 

what will fill it next.
