a condition
I will argue
we all must face
since we are
stuck in our own heads!
That being said
I will confess what
brought about this
personal insight
as I stood warming my toes
my cute
bubblegum painted
slightly darker than normal
toes
on the vent
looking out on
that winter landscape
once again
after those toes
just one day earlier
had soft
white
warm sand
dancing between them
the indoor landscape
that just one week ago
reflected seasonal beauty
to me
now...
well...
didn't.
What happened to that girl?
Where is she?
Can I find her again?
Here comes the confessional part
I went to this here blog
and started re-reading my own words
this is not something
I usually do after posting...
usually
but today
I did.
I was trying to recapture
something
I had lost on that white beach
of Antigua
I was looking for that
lost girl.
The one that
was loving this
and this...
oh,
and that!
I'm not sure I found
her in those
words
but as I wandered
about
outside
in that fresh air
and
cold sunshine
my camera started
taking
notice
wanting to
somehow
document
this amazing amount of
snowfall
unprecedented
record-breaking
so much in fact
that we haven't been able
to take
Christmas
completely down
(if you look close you'll see the lights)
tonight
I just might surprise the neighborhood
and turn them on
I just might.
Then I looked up
are you seeing IT!?
Not
the snow holding
tightly
onto
the branches
Not
that gorgeous blue
that takes me
back to the
sky and water
which is
Antigua
No
let me make it
clearer
There it is.
Do you see
what I
see?
buds...
tiny
precious
life affirming
buds!
Buds
bursting
at the edges
with
promise
I wish I could say
she's back
That I found her
oh,
I spotted her
she was out there
dancing on the edge
of
promise.
