Apples and Green Tea
all i need to comfort me
is an apple and some green tea
and a tablespoon of honey
mixed with some ginseng
a bright blue sky overhead
shaded by sycamore trees
classic literature in hand
and just the air that i breathe
i don't mind my world's on fire
or your heated blade pressed into my back
i don't mind the verbal onslaught
of your venemous personal attack
you got what you wanted
now i just ask that you go away
i've got a tale of two cities
and a bright blue saturday
i'll wait to pick up the pieces
of the shattered life you left behind
and i'll trade in my apples and green tea
for an endless chalice of blueberry wine
and i'll drink to drown you out
until you're just a faded memory
-----
i'm done feeling miserable. i'm done grieving. and while i don't have to like it, i
have accepted the divorce. and maybe somewhere deep inside of me, i wanted
this as well. between friends, family, co-workers, the soup, art, yoga, music
and just hiking the state parks - i am having a blast while my entire world is
crumbling around me, making way for the new.
thanks for the continued support.
love & light to you all, brothers & sisters.
