Feels so readily allowed,

when in a fit of exhaustion,

I wonder how much more

should a person endure.

Oh if I could imagine emotion

just once, open the floodgates,

let the waters drain away

in a sea, a visible wander.

I took a walk in the woods,

felt wrapped up in all 

of its natural wonder.

There’s an innocence

when surrounded by 

a life beyond ourselves.

So I might wait for the tears,

a sunny day, a gentle mist.
