A friend showed up in my mailbox today, just in time to perk up my numb calves. I cracked the seal, of course; plonked the smile she sent my way into the cd player, sank into the old, comfortably battered couch, and waited for the first bars…
A Ukelele?
The minute turned into a thoughtful one.
Quickly shattered by a shrill scream, “Aaaah, Jason Castro…?”
What the…
Darn American Idol anyways!
Hehe!
A small body hurtled onto my island of stillness, dismissing all my aches and cares. Suborning my reflections. Hollowed a sweet space in my arms, lent some stillness back, cocked a question in the form of a most impertinent chin, “Good music, huh?”
“Yeah,” settling a smile, and a chin, on top of a small, loved head.
“Somewhere over the rainbow…”
Couched the early evening away, we did; in the embrace of music, in the company of a friend.
and the friend pictures the scene…
and warmed by it, she smiles :)
