To the days I say,
Come as you will,
I feel I have a void to fill
It is a hunger I cannot feed,
A glimpse,
A hole,
A fault,
A need...
Perhaps for purpose,
a reason why,
Or ways to help the time fly by
Or else to keep it,
Here,
right now,
A quiet thought,
A soft, sweet sigh
I bathe and sleep my fears away,
My shaky nerves,
And furrowed brow
Today was better than yesterday,
Though honestly,
I don't know how
I hummed a song,
I drank some tea,
I soaked it up,
I let things be,
But really what surprises me,
Is how little it took,
To feel so free.
