i am taking natures cues
with last weeks deep freeze
i let my heart grow cold and hunkered down beneath a mountain of wool and rubbed my feet back and forth as if I was trying to start a fire
i stayed in, hiding under the weather
watching it from the warmer side of drafty panes of glass
and waited to thaw.
this week there is a promise of rain….and more rain
after just 24 hours of it,
a daydream….
if I were to cry enough my tears would suddenly become prisms falling and reflecting the light
my heart is warmer and all things frozen will thaw and begin again to meander, filling the tight corners of time
the return to fluidity
the softening of sharp thoughts and tongues
the awakening of the seeds of spirit
the to grow and flourish.
LOVE
