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.
