A Breeze stirs the tree. This ripe leaf unfurling soon. Reveal a new side.

Turning Leaves
My sentences get rambled up. They make sense up there, but not once they're down here. They lose their "umph", their clarity, their ingenuity. Some too short, some too long. Never comfortable or natural in my mouth but perfect and unflawed in that glorious thought bubble. But I'm learning to say it all anyway. Despite uncertainty, despite unoriginality, despite "perfectness". Because the biggest "despite" I've come to learn is myself.

Messy mind of mine
You found me I was whole But still amiss Happy With all the 'yets' Here you are Filling me up I was full And so are you We overflow. My cheeks Have never recovered From all the bliss, When you said You found me.
