~Alive~

 When I let go of what I am I become what I might be"  -Lao Tzu

Clouds 

Sugar and pepper

The sky

I'll be there for you
resilient and unbending
a footstep away

Skies lift your head to the sky

To touch the gravity between your fingers

Makes distance

Feel so near

Ages of light leaves

Breathless blooms

Makes you feel

Drunk

The trees

Are crowned

With leaves

In the quiet

Shivers

Of the breeze

Make it

Easier

To forget

The hold of you

Beautiful night

The common

Darkness
The trees

A silent echo
Still
A mystery
That keeps
Pulling

 me
in
-until I feel alive
