is for you
as a gratitude
you know, there've been all kinds of goings on inside me, kinda like a crowd of people all hurrying to get somewhere, looking over their shoulders, yawning up to their tippy toes to see over the person next to them, on the lookout, on the edge, looking out for, watching, anticipating......
it's a crowd of hot summer, some exhaust and collapse and lie down in the middle of the sidewalk, others amplify their pacing, some bristle and balk at the brush of a passerby, others reach for something to hold and squeeze too hard or else come up empty handed. it's a tough bunch.
the real truth is, the lot of them are starting to quiet themselves. they're more apt now to curl up on that plushy sofa and dig into a good book or else walk more leisurely off the beaten path, where the trees bend down and dance in the wind. and notice.
