Explosion

Beginning

With soft felt ripples
Comes the swelling of awakened
Emotions

Each tremor becoming a catalyst
Fed by silent smiles and
Unsolicited words

Ignited by thoughts of imagined
Happiness comes the

End

Hi, Clentin,
Hmm...I will be curious to read your response. Ar first read, this felt like a laugh exploding. Then reading a few more times, it feels like the awareness of true happiness while with a special someone. Maybe something else? I am wondering why it had to end...
Thank you,

After reading your comment the meaning of this changed for me immediately. It’s really a very good observation on these types of relationships. Family needs boundaries too and older generations feel differently about this.
