Mackgurl's Musings

Looking out on an expanse of tranquility... Here I sit...alone but not lonely... Between them there is a difference... It's subtle, yet deep in its intensity... Alone, a stone of thoughts... Small and light...will skip across the serenity of blue... Smooth ripples, endless ripples that dance across the surface... Calming in its undulating rhythm... Lonely, a boulder of thoughts... Big and heavy...would not skip or dance across the peaceful oasis... Rough swells, endless swells that battle much deeper than the surface... Torrential in its unrelenting cadence... Here I sit...alone but not lonely... The difference between them... a choice, a mindset... A lone stone, small and light...skipping and dancing... Or a boulder, rough and heavy...sinking you to the bottom, ruining the quiet blue.

The sound of your voice soothes me... Its dulcet tones wash over me... Bathing me in honey dipped sweetness that I will always remember... Smiling, I close my eyes... To sleep and to dream... One thought prevalent on my mind... Before sleep claims me... I remember that in the morning... I will have more honey.

At my usual spot, a table for one... Yes that one...the one, a way from the kitchen but near a window... I sit with a clear view of life as it passes by... Sitting in my usual spot, a table for one... I stare into tomorrow...wondering how just yesterday, I was certain... Certain that THIS is where I would always be... But now my usual spot, a table for one... That one is too small...amazing how just yesterday, I was certain... Certain that THIS table would always be for me... So my usual spot, my table for one... Has been changed...Yesterday is gone, and today there's me and you... And that table for one, is now a table for two. Photo by Juli Kosolapova
