Something intangible
Fox Warren 1984 (Dublin)
Something that makes it all manageable
A bold word that brushes aside everything else you've been told
That first full breath after an anxious night
That slight sting on a cold ear lobe
That dull sky that gives way to starry heavens
Where I rest for a while without expectations
To me a smile that beguiles even the most cynical hearts
The smell of Cinnamon or Lavender
Head hugs, Jam tarts and uninhibited farts
These are the moments in which fear ends and love starts
