There was a moment today

There was a moment today 

when I thought about you.  

I don't know how I could distinguish it

from

all the other moments blurred

by the rain left dripping

to the bottom

of the page I had been reading,

each drip threatening to overflow

something heavy down below,

but it just flows 

and flows.

This river knows 

it's edges

and does not overpeak, 

and does not roar and foam,

just trickles at a whisper I 

can hear when I am willing

 to bend

and listen gently

from my softly leaking heart.
