with the hours that pass
and the leaves
that,
ever so carefully
blows by
in the breeze
I am here
by the slide in the park outside my house
analyzing a blade of dead grass on the ground
and wondering what it is I am breathing

clutching my coat to my chest
feeling the convulsions that my body makes
to this perpetual winter
that seems to cover everything
I am here
in this season of thought
that appears to exist only through my ink
this thought that holds my pen
at bay
to anything but
that I am here

this winter
has frozen my being
with pause pressed on thought

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

Be here, fully, and that's all that matters.
