Collections of moments
carefully stored
filed in cabinets
boxes and drawers
saved for the future
saved for the past
saved with the hope
these moments will last
collections of memories
carefully stored
filed by happy
sad and bored
saved for the future
saved for the past
saved with the knowledge
that nothing will last
TIMING
Imperfections
stolen by valor
perfect timing
perfect failure
Observations
colored by sight
perfect timing
perfect bite
Iterations
new and strange
perfect timing
perfect change
SNOW
I wonder how it feels
to float through the air
frozen in time
yet being nowhere
carried away
by the winds
of desire
melted to tears
by the heat
of a fire
I wonder how it feels
to sleep in a field
connected to the earth
like a blanket that heals
calming the rivers
cooling the stones
covering the mountains
always at home
GROWTH
Growth
looks different inside
like roots of trees
spread out and divide
moving away
from the light outside
digging deeper
we strengthen our pride
Growth
looks different outside
like blossoms on trees
are impossible to hide
bringing us closer
to who we are
reaching heights
that once seemed
too far
