Doing something for myself

Refreshment comes
In Thursday night's
Salon scented massage
In a single service Sunday
And the inspiring music
Swelling sonorously
Through Swedish subtitles
In the art deco detail
Of a friendship reviving.
It comes in making plans
For cooking
And unexpected dinner guests
Whose companionship nurtures
While couch lounging
With old stories and recent learnings
Soul deep honesty of a call to wait
And the silence of God
The spring is coming my friend
For both of us
As the leaves of the best of us
Being their unfurling in midlife
