Pull up a chair


You'll find me
at Caribou,
sitting in
a mahogany chair
at a small oak table
by the window,
providing a
direct view
of Walgreens
just across the street.

More than likely
I'll be drawing,
using blue
and black pencils
sprawled out
upon the table,
with a few
haphazardly thrown about
out of bouts
of frustrations.

If it's after 6 pm
there's a chance
I might be writing,
in which case
I'll have my thesaurus out
along with my trusty
pocket dictionary.

Don't be afraid
to approach me,
even if it seems like
I'm in deep concentration,
I don't mind
being interrupted
with a friendly smile,
and I'd enjoy
the company
more than I can say.

You are more
than welcome
to pull up a chair
and join me
for a delightful
conversation
over a cup
of coffee.

I might be quiet
and I'll probably be
a bit shy
but that doesn't mean
that I'm not interested
in talking,
being quiet
is just a part
of who I am.

Once the ice
begins to crack
the walls around me
will slowly dissipate,
though they won't
disappear completely,
just enough
to let you into
my heart.

We'll share laughter
upon rays of sunshine,
we'll share smiles
upon waves of friendship
and we'll share words
of beauty and grace.

Within words
our hearts will smile
and our souls
will take flight
as we talk,
sharing life.

You'll find me
at Caribou,
sitting in
a mahogany chair
at a small oak table
by the window,
waiting for you
with a warm smile
upon my face.
