what trees reach for by *sunshinegypsy:iconsunshinegypsy:



sometimes
love means
                 tomorrow
when it cannot mean today

the wild trees fall silent
the world stretches against the palm of my hand
            shaking chaos from the ocean

once lost
we all remember the path –
   crawl down where it is safe
some days
             
but i cannot teach you
how to fall

just that
the oranges are sticky -
                              bright
there is always another border to cross
and the only place you will be safe is
underwater
                           until the tide goes out

but,
       this amnesia is merciful
and you will find your own joy

and they will tell you life
is a gift
         (and i will have to agree,
because
                  you)
will see things differently

this is simply beautiful, and my favorite line right now is "there is always another border to cross" because it is truer than true, and it is incredibly important to remember.

i have felt love is a breaking down. a freeing from what we thought we were to find out what relation can be, what union can be.

and it is all about seeing things differently, always, all the time...what a lovely note to go out on.

love it!

:D me too. i guess i'm not supposed to say that about my own work... haha. i've been working on it forever! since before my last poem (uncharted territory, not the last, last one, which was more of just a thought) and for awhile i almost thought i was going to toss it. but i left it sitting there, open. and one day i just said, i'm going to do this or resign it to the abyss.

and suddenly i could just see it. just what was important at the moment. at the moment i want, most of all, to capture every changing important thought and feeling and hope and resolution i have. i want to remember.

that is why i write.

i want to remember.

i take pictures for the same reason. chris & i journal for the same reason.

we are afraid of forgetting because it is all too real to forget. and we learn.

:heart:

i like who i was 10 years ago, or 5, or 1. i like who i was yesterday. i like that i am someone new today. i want to be open for anything.
