Good In Life (6/17/22)

When so much of life doesn’t make sense
Trying to get through moment to moment

Reminding myself of the good left in life

The things that make me smile
Laugh
Feel peace for a second
Give hope for a future
Somehow
Without you.

Anna
Seth
Levi
Pieces of you
Pieces of me
Mingled together
Perfectly.

Linc
Emmett
Crazy antics
Kisses on my face
Force me to face
Morning.

Birds in the backyard
Coffee
In hand
A pair of cardinals
Feed each other
Breakfast.

Family
Yours
Mine
Check on me
Don’t let me
Hide.

Friends
Acceptance
Make me laugh
But also
Let me
Cry.

Purple flowers
Blossom
Bring simple beauty
Color
To a gray
Life.

Perfect words
A lyric
A poem
Encapsulate emotion
Build
Community

Ease the unrelenting loneliness

Underneath it all is so much sadness
But, Babe, I’m trying.

Moment by moment.
