a worthy journey

Steps small, steps slow,
are still steps taken,
progress,
no matter their direction.

Even if no one else is watching,
knows your destination
or knows the space you’ve traveled,
you do.
You know.

The journey is long, and slow,
and relies on you to find, and lead, the way.

A worthy journey,
a transformative journey,
to love.

song on the radio

I travel back in time
to me and him
I remember where we were
how I felt
and a bittersweet smile grows on my face.

Finally here and ready to see you
better late than never,
the air fills with chatter and laughter.
This is what I have been missing.

Skies and snow
must also feel this warmth and love,
sticking, layering, to the world outside
like I wish to do here,
in your home.
Stick and stay.

Fighting against the disappearing sun
to stay longer, keep the moment alive,
come departures
too soon.
