static

never stop reminding me
to put on my shoes
and start walking
to smell the rain
and draw a deep breath

to rest a hand on
the gap
in the chest
where the sore heart
is

to letdown compassion
for feelings i have
(rage, grief, pain, loss, confusion, frustration, fear)
and feelings i lack
(love, love, love, love, love, love, love)

never stop reminding me
that as long as my feet
are walking
as long as my hands
are holding
it is not evening yet
