The presence of words spoken weighs heavily on these trembling hands I wish to take the clocks that overtook me and inscribe in them all the lessons and stories gifted to me by loved ones back when I was too preoccupied with tomorrow and everything I wanted to be When this world was all, I thought about and this life was all I could see Occasionally, I find a hollow breath and sometimes, itβs enough to fill these lungs as I soak this anxiety in remembrance Befriending grief and hiding from time walking home in a new dayβs cold Shivers and chills, pulling apart my steps With aching bones and a desire to rest but forward and forward I go this time knowing, wholeheartedly, that seasons never last
