IT'S ELEVEN-ELEVEN

It was our magic time. In any day there are 1440 minutes. But only two of them each day are represented with four identical numbers ~ 11:11. They are magic minutes.

Every time either of us happened to glance at a clock which said 11:11, we'd feel impelled to go find and tell the other: "It's eleven-eleven!" and, together, we'd bask in its magic! We considered It a good omen. Of course it would be lost if we deliberately watched for it. It had to be coincidental to be magic; was OK to run around and check all the other clocks as soon as we'd happened to see it on one!

No magic would be lost then.

This morning, I looked up at the den's atomic clock and it was eleven-eleven. That happens from time to time, and each time I am both lifted and reminded, feeling his closeness and missing it simulataneously.

Of course - I sensed the magic this morning.

I could surely

Turn my thoughts to you, my dear,

Were they not already there.

I could surely

Feel your presence too;

Its warm and heady air

Enfolding me,

As in every other moment

When you were really here.

I know

YOU!

You do exist!

I can't resist you!

You are a miracle

Transparent,

~ You.

The Dawn

There's magic in it,

Everywhere -

Glass-surfaced lake

And softened dawn-

The rocking of a gentle wake,

The hum of dreams

Too sweet to bring the song

To life.

Dawn Again

He slept

And I lay quietly besides him,

Remembering

And still remembering,

Quietly I slept.

He stirred

And I lay quietly near him,

Longing

And still longing,

Quietly I stirred.

He rose

And I lay quietly without him,

Sighing

And still sighing,

Quietly I rose.

He smiled

And I stay quietly around him,

Glowing

And still glowing,

Quietly I smile.

SATURDAY

I am certain

That wherever the two of us shall meet

If only in my thought

The cosmic switchboard

Of prime times

Lights up

As celestial chimes

Are sounded!

My sweet ~

The fireworks of the fourth occurred

A month too late

This year.

But - wait ~

OH my! It's now August 30th - and I just glanced at my den clock and it was 11:11!! I'm almost spooked! But happy about it!

This is a few days after I published this hub on August 26th and I was not looking for a recurrence! It's exciting!
