Imitation

Pockets of light
illuminate the shore –
day submitting to dark

I trace the lines
of our passage,
remembering

How winds and tides
shaped us, how carelessly
we wasted time…

Danced around
our solitudes
imitating intimacy

(Once upon a time I wrote poetry for Twitter. This is one. Image my own)

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
