Pleasure



kitten nuzzling my neck
his purr vibrating against my throat
body completely relaxed in trust

cuddling at night
after a long day
me and my girl
reading favorite books
interrupted by news
we just have to share

walking with my beloved
his big warm soft hands
enveloping my own
I am safe

riding the rollercoaster
with eyes wide open
savoring the Now
the up and over and upside down
the smooth twirling in air
feet above my head
feeling ten years old

driving in the hills
watching the eagle and the hawk
humming John Denver
and swerving to avoid
the pheasant strutting across the road
like a church lady with a new hat

in the middle of making supper
or canning the harvest
Elvis comes on the radio
and without instruction
my daughter and I move into the groove
shaking hips and legs
and feeling the beat

for all those moments
I taste heaven
in the midst of
pure

Pleasure

and it is Good.
