INTIMATE ME by Lorraine Brooks
When I think of intimacy
I think of someone close to me
I think of things we hear and see
And sharing moments, light and free.
I think of talking out my dreams
Of waterfalls and quiet streams
Of how it is, and how it seems
Of all our plans and all our schemes.
But sometimes all I need is peace
All the noises stop and cease
A quiet touch and soul release
To listen to my own heartbeats.
A smile, a nod, a hopeful look
All spell intimate, in my book
That I’ll be OK, by hook or by crook
In spite of all the turns I took.
To be intimate is not defined
By circumstance or frame of mind
It’s everything we see, combined
The total of all humankind.
A compliment, a wink, a note
A birthday card, an anecdote
One friend who called, and one who wrote
All help me breathe and stay afloat.
So talk and hug and call and be
And share a cup of herbal tea
And burn some oils and potpourri
And you will get the intimate me.
