Good Moments

Like opening the front door
And taking in the first whiff
Of morning air--

Like driving down a dark road
And you and the driver of an oncoming car
Dim your lights simultaneously--

Like getting a hug from your child,
Grandchild, lover, spouse, friend
For no reason at all--

Like walking up steps
And for the first time in days,
Your knees don't hurt--

Like offering your lover

A great poem on your return, realistic and hopeful. A good combination.

I shatter and mend.
Spidered panes,
lightly stitched
of the war life wages.
Yet daylight manages
to wiggle in
to dance:
a Tango.

What a great set-up for this tight poem of images. The equally tight rhyme scheme keeps us focused on the sky.
