The Doctor’s Sanctuary
Soon I will see you again and as I contemplate the vision of you
A feather crossed my eyes as it lay resting on my floor
I thought of you as you left my space on your own.
You moved forward and I saw two feathers and I grabbed;
With words and vision as they lay resting on your pants
My feather is a remembrance of yours
I saw you kneel on your bed to kiss her goodbye, my imagination aroused.
Then the stoop continues as you dirty your pants and kiss your dog.
You’re holding their face to acknowledge love, with a playful toss.
The beginning of a day’s energy and resolve within a habit long fought.
My vision of you remembered that day and more.
There is no self-conscious reproach in you for your fashion deficiency.
As you are viewed by my discerning eyes catch
In my awkward stare I wait to see what I will witness and say again.
The offering of just one more layer in the healing of my time.
