Today
I crunched the snow beneath my bare feet and something about the aching freeze and the sight of naked winter trees made me feel more alive than before and I asked the cold gray winter sky why must we forget to remember why must we fight to surrender and how do we let our guard down when we're ready to move on? In June I pressed the sand beneath my bare feet the sea water that splashed my legs brought relief and I asked the crashing waves as they threatened to tumble me why must we forget to remember why must we let go before we learn to hold closer and how do we knock down the walls we've built when we're ready to move forward In October I crushed the grass and red leaves beneath my bare feet and felt the tickle of the autumn ground so much softer than the hot concrete of the city street and I thanked the earth for my life for my birth and all the days that I have seen wretched, brilliant and serene all I could and could not have been mistakes I may repeat again ;) and I asked the sky, the trees, the grass, the rain why must we forget so we can remember why must we brake to be made whole and how do we let our guard down when we're ready to move forward once more?
