sometimes all you can do is observe

and listen

the mirage makes two halves whole

and there is beauty

symmetry

balance

.

the slightest ripple

will change the effect

the map of motion

pushing onward

like the silence

of dawn’s

bold promise

listening

listening

listening

to everything

again

.

the empty spaces

speak the loudest

.

a lesson learned

repeated

and turned

into growth

or lack

of knowledge

humor and hubris

skin and earth

scorched and longing

and the hours

drawn out on the gridlocked page

of a rather unyielding

july

and one small smile

on a too-cool morning

in a garden

already running wild

.

and i am happy to let it run this year,
accepting my lack of control as i’m busy learning new things
and embracing life and loving people.
but we have our moments and we both understand
that we are always here for each other,
even in the midst of so much chaos.
