The view outside my window
with all the passing people
and all my bedroom furniture
towers over me
the ripples on the water
the wind against the trees
all the cycles that repeat
and all of the noise
all my worries, wandering thoughts
all the time I feel I’ve lost
is peering in at me
a bit more weathered in the pane
face to face again
In the square next to the grocery store
children laugh and run around
moving hands along the statue
something different, something new
What if we’d been younger?
We wouldn’t have been so petty
We’d have never learned to use
the words that cut so deep
And what age do we start listening?
Shed the harm we carry with us?
After everything, I’m still hoping
for a chance to make amends,
or fall on my face again
These days when I can clear my head
and things don’t feel so heavy
the chattering is deafened
and time it crawls so slow
every angle is a painting
every motion is a feat
and every moment
there’s a treasure I can seek
That’s all there needs to be
and a promise to be better
to be warmer, to be a pillar
for someone else someday
