Camilla: Pepparkaksstaden, del 15

 StarBeing, five, nudge

She nudges  the door

open, 

soaked balcony

overlooking

the rainy ocean,

 

taking me back to

another rain

where we found

our power,

a gentle force

in the woods

of

Otterloo

in

twentytwentythree;

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is something about

rain

gently falling

on

freshly sprung

leaves

at dusk

 

There is something about

paws

moving through

puddled mud

at night

when owls cry

and stars sing

 

There is something about

the softness

of a tender puppy bite

nudging

at

curiosity

and play

as the shadows drown

what was

the day  gone by

 

There is something about

living

that we seem to miss

when 

we are

not here.
