as the leaf falls from the tree, and tumbles end over end towards the earth, Iโm reminded, of love, and loss, and all the things in life we hold close to heart and wish to never depart.
yet, we know all things are fleeting, even this feeling I have, as Iโm writing this poem, sitting, and whimsically staring at the screen, as one word appears, and then another, and then they disappear from heart, and mind, one after the other,
and then?
another feeling and knowing comes, and heart and mind become one.
a frozen tundra, outside, calling us to heed, and answer questions, not easily received
yet, limited capacity persists, and recalling them in their entirety beguiles us quietly
we pause, reflect, and remember, who
we are
as we make our way through the pain, and present dismay
and know within
the icy cold, ever present, and not so distant, exists the possibility of recalling the knowledge that resides deep in our hearts, one said, wisely,
so long ago
unable to grasp the feeling, our dwelling shines on the inside, frightening off the cold, and bringing forth the blazing light, of our collective birthright
In response to the WDYS #89 prompt from Keep it Alive, by Sadje.
