There. Always There

 


They travel through you.
Some tease and tickle brain cells or trick you unaware.
A few move in and out of the mind's pocket.

Others paddle and float in the bloodstream
then vacation into the heart to stay.

A breath reveals those who flutter in the lungs.
Many from afar reside in hibiscus blossoms, a tulip or rose.

When a tree branch brushes a hand, you'll know who's there.
Trickle of water or wave roll calls them to mind.

Lemon's scent or a phantom hand on the shoulder brings a hug of breeze 
There. Always there.

As sun blends a spark of memory with tangerine sky,
a chuckle sounds into the sea with a flash of green.

Rustle of wings returns those elevated to another plane.
Still they remain. There. Always there.
