Stripes at my back, my heart on my sleeve.

Today’s Photohunt Theme: “Stripes”
my favorite stripes in a warm time
run up behind me in a line
I lay back and close my eyes
the time of solace and rest flies
quite soon I hear the little feet
marking out a quick-paced beat
a giggling is drawing near
the favorite sound my ears could hear
my eyes open and see his face
filling up my eye-view space
he’s grinning, asking to join me
I reach out, pull him up quickly
now a different kind of peace unfolds
of tickling, laughter, hugs and holds
and just as rest can make me whole
this connection refuels my soul.

I love being alone in the hammock too….but you are right there is nothing like being joined by a small wriggly person who giggles a lot
