Winter
In the middle of winter you can’t hear the birds call from the tallest trees
You can’t see the grass rustle in the wind
You can’t hear the little bugs floating and flying in the air around you
You can’t feel the soft buzz of life -
The Present
When I was younger everything was simple
I didn’t have to worry about grades and relationships and my future
I just lived in my mind
Day after day
Things were good
I didn’t notice how the way I am would change how people view me -
Taken away by the wind
You can see your eye lashes when the sun shines in your face
Like little dots floating above your iris
When you catch a glimpse of them they look like the white fuzz on dandelion puffballs -
Never let go
I used to think love was a funny thing
But here I am writing a poem about it
I mean who am I to write a poem about love
I don’t know much
Or anything at all
But I do know that I’m in love
I don’t know how I do
But I do -
Forgive
It just hit me how quickly someone’s life can end. How in mere milliseconds their existence can disappear. All the things you wished you’d said to them, done for them, forgave them for, been with them through. Everything stops. -
For Brown Bird
For you and only you I say this to
Two birds sat together
One brown
One blue
They spoke to each other in tongues only they knew
And shared a single secret that couldn't be told
I don't know how a bird can talk
