Today

Today..... on the first day of spring, I remind myself to remember hope as if life is a wave that I can catch We are all born blue, without a pattern the sun behind the horizon tells us not to worry though we do I tell myself...... It is the first day of spring and there is no "Then"... just a now. No sharp edges, no corners- just a spoon dipped in chocolate Hope.... a door I kicked down and kept running Until I almost found myself Love ......Yes I shall love as if; it is my favorite small black dress I slip past my hips/ slick As if he wont notice It comes off easily from practice Spring- how it brings the eternal optimist maybe he'll believe that I could love him as much as I love myself that I am a wave- that he could catch I catch my breath And tell myself Remember... Spring.... "What happened to you that makes you this way" Remember there is no "Then" Just a now... Remember spring to remind you... You forgot yourself
