Clearly trying

  Breathless to the sound of leaves
crunching, to long walks.

   Close eyes to place earbuds in
and forget of the emotion waving
inside. To end the memory that
was screaming inside.

   Walking in nature. Trying to
allow the fading process time to
begin. To slowly be able to enjoy all
falling on face.

   A song that presses, emerges a
sense of calm. An anxious moment
ceased.

  Stride becoming stronger and
skin warm. Mind alert of the
caution that opened, that unveiled.
No longer in need, just a hope,
a dream.

  Oh how I hope, I pray.
Please join me in such for not
do I want to be selfish, to be
careless.

  Forward I look and there I see.
Dare I wonder? Dare I even acknowledge?

   Noted, watched are my emotions.
I pray not to be a plastic toy nor a stone.

              Send love this way.
         A hug throughout time.
           Days. Years. Decades.
             If not momentarily.
                How about this
                     second?

Cynical is the mind. Knowing not is any possible.
       Life is here. Well caution is seen.
                Cater to self. Not me.
