days of me.

I am:
dancing, barefoot
in the rain, my hair
falling out of place
celebrating the
movement
reverberation
the emotion

unaware and uncaring

of who’s watching

judging

giggling to myself as
I tell the joke completely

wrong

holding my best friend’s hand
as she so peacefully
takes her
last
breath, leaving me

alone in this life

heart racing
pounding
silently as possible tip
toeing, feeling the chill
of the midnight grass

dark sky, illuminating

stars,

first kiss
innocence
butterflies


protective, brave

and strong

aspiring

to be like you

wrapped so securely in

your arms
hold me, as I cried
goodbye
you are changing,
blessing
so many lives

peanut-butter
apples
the feel of linen sheets
fairytells
toes- barefoot
in the mud
the thought of
growing old
chocolate-covered
strawberries, running
through the
sprinklers
butterfly kisses with
my daddy

dreaming of an even better tomorrow
