+ Her Barefoot Heart

how they got in there, i’ll never know

so there i was,
clearing and cleaning a rental property,
getting it all spiffied up and ready
to welcome
and shelter
its new person,
when i opened the grill to find this:

you just never know
where you’re gonna’ find
new life,
spring,
possibility,
[insert your own metaphor]
so stay awake
be ready,
and behave yourself*.

*and just so you know: that last one need not involve a long-term commitment.

    As with love, life is often more amazing than we give it credit for. Mysteries of life and mysteries of the heart are a single path; the fork in the road is delight and frustration.
