I hope you have a friend who can remind you with a few words not to go where you feel like you’re going–one who can pull you back up when you feel like you’re sinking without doing or saying too much.
You just get it, and they just get you.
I really do hope you have a friend or friends like this, too.
an understatement
if I have given
you my time, money, attention, and words, then “love” is an understatement for what I feel for you.
I am showing you I want to see your heart happy.
I am showing you your heart deserves to be happy.
we
won’t
always
be
intent
on
digging
through
thick
walls
to
get
to
the
core
of
others
we’re too busy
playing with dull
minds and filthy
lips that
carry
us
away
from
what
matters
most
I said it. I meant it.
And now, a clip of Daffy Duck being, well … Daffy Duck.
I am in tune — my body
connects with my soul
as I rolled around the
skating rink.
Life has a funny way of
bringing you back
full circle — to where you
should have been a
decade ago, but here you
are now … ready to dive
into a pastime and you
cannot remember why
you let it go.
The music is blasting — speakers
are thumping with artists you
wish you could meet
in person.
The strobe light spins and
shines … this is your forgotten
wonderland — your place
of peace.
As I smoothly circled around
the hardwood floor, hoodie
swaying in the breeze, I
would’ve paid good
money to see how wide the
smile was on my face.
My past used to torture me;
it used to send me into a
downward spiral and the
climb upward always catapulted me
into a fretful fit.
And now, there’s this — this
pure goodness I should’ve
welcomed back with open
arms before today.
But maybe it wasn’t
time yet.
Maybe I hadn’t reached the
place of growth I needed to
reach, and God is always
on time.
So, I am here … back in
this space that sends
me into an armful of
happiness with much
leftover to share — rolling
around the rink, reminiscent
of my past as I share it
with my present.
