{Five Minute Friday} Join



Five Minute Friday

In this space, today--
No extreme editing; no worrying about perfect grammar, font, or punctuation. 
Unscripted. Unedited. Real.




I see you there in the corner.  Book, or sketch paper, or dragon figure in hand.  Busying yourself with stories or drawings or make believe.

You're there
and
I'm here.

Where I am, well, it is busy and scattered and important.   I would prefer not to be interrupted, thank you.  A few or ten or 60 minutes more and I'll be finished.  Set aside.  Complete.

So you wait.

I catch glimpses of you from the leaky sides of my eyes but I plow forward anyway.  Just a few things more.  Then I'll be done.  And ready for you.

But then, in a moment, when I am distracted from my distractions by a Spirit wind,

I see you.

Sitting there.

In the corner.

And our eyes lock and a power beyond us seals my gaze.

And your eyes, the ones moist with anticipation and impatience and desire, that ooze love unending

they say it so simply.

Join me.

Please.
