Safe Haven

Soft sunlight

Warming our bodies

Cold from the long night

We stand up

Shaking the dew from the morning's melt off of our fur

We leap into the wildflowers

Running along the river,

Flowing at an easy pace.

We are carefree,

You will be, too,

If you let your mind wander to such a faraway place that seems so

Impossible

You can reach this

You can climb to this height of living

Of existence

It just takes effort

Perseverance

Hope

To reach your safe haven.

  • You Two

    Looking at you two

    as you "dance" on the "dance floor"

    which is really just an empty spot on the ground

    as you hold hands awkwardly

    though enjoying it

    as you experience feelings that I've never experienced before.

  • Separation

    It's always the goodbyes that are hardest

    especially when you've gotten so close

    after years of distance

    it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them

  • Endless

    Card

    after card

    after card

    it keeps going

    the stack endless

    the family tree sprawling

    stretching

    growing

    by the second.

    I have to write it all down
