Afterward

My constant companion Wing, at home in the woods.

Afterward
12/27/10

Christmas can stir many emotions
igniting highs of nurturing joy
watching young and old interact,
be enthused, playful, often surprised
by words uttered, affection displayed,
as everyone smiles and laughs,
a peak experience in contrast
to regular less populated days,
where sharing with family, friends,
can be few, far between,
which stands out in hindsight
when thinking about my interactions,
communication, giving, instigated by me,
how little I reach out,
keep updated by frequent contact
with those professing love for,
while living singularly, only animals
are daily companionship to exchange
love for each other afterward.
