I am a bridge
connecting cultures
exotic and western
transcending time and space
as I time travel in my mind
sounds, tastes, fragrances, textures
long ago and tomorrow
connections etched in my brain
an aching heart remembers
too much or not enough
or
what remains
gratitude
here I stand
in the moment
lingering
until it becomes the past
rustling around me
colored hues distracting the eye
movement in the woods
a bird calls
a squirrel stuffs his cheeks
distraction
leaves dancing in the air
the wind in my hair
and I reach up to catch a leaf
and laugh
