Before
we wake,
we are huddled under
blankets
and dreaming.
Before
we wake
there are others
living,
breathing,
chirping,
growing.
Before
we wake
the ocean's waves
soak its rocky beaches.
Before
we wake
birds talk
about what today
will bring.
Before
we wake
the trees search
for heat
and light
amidst night.
And...
Before
we wake,
the world
goes on.

They said to think about who you are
And who you want to be
After camp
And I thought
What if I don’t know
The changes I want to happen to me?
What if change
Is best
Faced like the wind
I hope that our legacy is our effort to love, that it is the times we held umbrellas above other peoples heads and shared whatever food we had and pointed out the stars.
We didn't know the guy
in the truck
who's that guy?
my sister asked,
and I wondered if city people
expected to know everyone
they saw around town.
