it is, it was

THIS
is what it is!!!

and

THIS
is what it WAS!!!

all the other stories
had nothing to do with us.

quiet enough

when
I am
quiet enough

to hear

the trees always whisper
the same thing--

wait

...................just wait

.....you'll see

even still

even still
with what I know
and didn't know then

even still
with what you said
and what I said

and

what we didn't say

even still
after years and years
and new lovers
and new chances

there's a memory of your softness
and my heart breaks
(like then)
again.

love

f

like tiny

rain
drops.

We try to catch its taste

on our tongue

but precious pearls

must travel home

must travel on

a Larger Love

even
the longest kiss

does not stretch into

"for sure"

and you can hold my hand...

just remember to let go.

there's a Larger Love to feel

the moment we say

"I don't know."

Secrets

I have ripped open my secrets

thrown

like confetti to the sky.

The clearer my heart

the higher they fly.

Just Today

I shook out my pockets
of the confetti of clutter

but the Days Before
would simply not rest!

and Tomorrow's list came in the mail (express!!!)

what would it be like to wake up fresh?
