Are you?

When times are quiet and the days are new

I often stop and think of you.

Are you happy and do you love

the world you're in and the sky above.

The sounds and sights and smells around,

that place in your heart where secrets are found.

Do you stop and think of me

or not as far as your eyes can see?

The sweet smell of rain as it hits the ground,

and noise at night when there is no sound.

Do you yearn for my touch or the feel of my hair?

The warmth of my skin or do you even care?
Do you yearn for me, or for another
Shall I pursue for now or close the cover?

I need

I need to think awhile -

I need to write it all down.

Write it all down least I forget

I need to forget and let go.

I need to write it all down,

Unscramble the words,

lift the burden of confusion.

I need to release and let go.

Tumbling, falling

Hit the floor with a bump.

Memory to haunt me

I need to let it all go.

💥

Saying goodbye. bit by bit.

Tomorrow a bit of me leaves. 

Tearing away at my soul. 

So many cherished memories. 

So many silent tears.

Tomorrow a bit of me drives away. 

Clearing the way for space. 

Space to grow and space to breathe. 

Space to finally start to heal.
