The True Things

Hiking in the sand dunes

you feel the true things

The happiness of giggling families

kids sliding down dunesides

the pure joy

of running 

flying

sandy plunge steps

the kiss of sun on cheeks, legs, 

so much warmth in February

The joy surges and you

Stop

and share it with him

what is real and true

the best in life
You wish for him

Will his way

across a thousand miles
around the signed divorce
over the hurts
the loss
you find the true things

The feeling

the knowing

the absolute

of that short list

joy

sunlight

laughter

Give to him and
know

that he feels it too
