there will reach a time.
where you will find yourself.
sitting. in the sun.
lost. in the sky.
and you will think back.
to this moment.
when it was dark.
and cold.
and the good
felt
so far
// hudson biko

settle
where the wind
calms.
and your breath
is light
// hudsonbiko
marvel at the flowers
wither.
and remember
the beauty.
in your falter
// hudson biko
the sun lingers
between the branches.
holds the spaces
vacated by the silence
of the leaves.
it is all so bare.
and so full.
a light.
so bright.
reduced
to shadows.
// hudsonbiko
there are times
when i do not fear
the fall.
when i look at the streams
run down the earth.
and think.
of all the ways.
the pour
helps the flowers
rise.
