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.

    this is my routine;

    come home from school

    open to this the first chance I get

    write.

  • Questions

    I'm

    confused

    did I do it

    what happened?

    You were melancholy earlier

    what is going on

    what did I miss

    was it me?

     

    You talk in subtle hints

    but what are you hinting at?

  • Beauty

    The world is muted

    muffled

    as the snow sprinkles your hair

    lice,

    you remember a friend calling it once in 5th grade

    you got mad at him for that.
