sunshine laze
i spent the weekend
contemplating the sunshine
enjoying the angles of
light
as i lazed about
i find the words inside my head
quick to float across the beams
that spill onto the floor
and dance across my walls
i have been entranced with the shape and shade of a thought
as tears form and drip down a cheek of smiling care
i have been emotional about the hue of colour
that bursts out across a tulips breathe
and since i can’t seem to find a way to talk about it all
in any sort of manner that finds itself strewn across a coherent sentence
i have decided to take part in napowrimo
last year i also participated so that i could escape the pain that april brought, the memory of a loss too fresh. that loss is still there stained beneath my heart that beats and i find myself emotional as spring slowly awakes the earth bringing to life all that has lain dormant and yet i find too much to celebrate in the air i breathe to dwell in that pain for too long. so this year i hope to bring my words here to celebrate my memories while giving life to my future.
besides … i have spent too much time lazing in the sun
letting my words and thoughts blow in the breeze
whispering
when i feel the need to
sing.
