For When It Breaks You

My feet are bare on the dirt

This trail 

Looking up through the canopy 

All the light coming down 

Whats up there

For my time here is limited 

Will I have wings 

One day 

Then these words saying things 

I cannot hear them clearly 

As I should

Maybe eventually 

Just accept them how they

Land

Even when it hurts 

From time to time 

Living and growing without a care

It seems 

As I must’ve at some time 

Looked away 

Looked around 

Moving through the sounds 

With an ocean of chances

Sometimes it just hits in the spot it hits

And you roll with it 

Out here in the places

Setting down the markers

Truth abundant 

Over the lines we imagined 

Seeing ourselves 

Arms open wide

With the chance to do something new 

Not again 

Golden eyes over the mountain 

Purple truths in the small towns 

Trying without knowing 

Coming through the place

To see where I couldn’t see

Before
