We need rests called naps
and rests called play,
We need little moving rests
called getting away.
perspective
Suffering in silence
If you don’t know anyone who has it worse than you, trust this —
Incorporated
sunshine has no budget
the sea no red tape
trees do not license
themselves to the countryside
bees don’t invoice the flowers
there is no committee of oceans
and i’ve never seen a bird
take out nest owner’s insurance
Overflowing
whenever you lose a loved one
even though your heart feels empty
always remember that it is still full —
of love and thankfulness and memories
