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
