I take out
A pint of cookie dough
Relaxation.
My phone rings
A welcome call
Connection.
You sound good
Like the man I know
Kindness.
I scoop scoops
While you share
Memories.
You remind me
About stadium seats
Generosity.
We get lost
Meandering roads
Conversation.
You tell me
I sound like her
Comfort.
I tell you
You sound like him
Family.
Our presence soothes
Precious and fleeting
Love.
I ask myself
How to hold onto you
Life.
Your voice quiets
Ready for rest
Departure.
We hang up
A promise for more later
Faith.
I sit smiling
Slowly eating
Ice cream soup.
About the Creator
L. Lewis
I write short stories and poetry about the ways of the world: sci-fi, fantasy, and the truth in all things.
