8-28-10 good things

periwinkle

the moment when you first realize you can smell autumn

new paint brushes

the first bite of pie ( that little triangle tip)

laying very still on the slant of a hill and imagining everything around you tipping, you staying one with the ground

the sound of a football game

the shapes of all the spaces between leaves and branches

light:
1 hour before the sun sets in the summer
early in the morning during the spring
right before it will storm

watching people in activity and thought when they are not aware of your eyes on them

finding the perfect song
and listening over
and over again

swings.

being in love

mail

my uncle's porch

a beautiful memory that only you and one other person share

floating

laughing with someone that knows you so much that you didn't even have to voice the thing you are both laughing about

being known


wind chimes

belonging

smelling pine needles

blowing dandelion wishes

holding hands

pockets in dresses

aprons

paint on my fingers and arms..and face......and in my hair

being naked

dancing

singing when I'm alone

words

bottom lips

how things look when they are falling

red shoes

surprises

secrets

1/3 of the way into a painting

lines

sex

the way melted chocolate turns and folds over itself as it pours into a bowl

christmas lights when seen through teary eyes

the sound of horse hooves

1st kisses

when words sound like what they mean

you

how the woods can be dark inside even when it's daytime

hope

spreading frosting

fingers in the water while riding in a moving boat

letting wind mess up your hair

high heels

the eyes of someone you love the second they recognize you
