How can I keep from singing?

Today i have found you again

so many years lost in the shadows and depths

hiding and giggling so that i could hear your tiny voice

Echoing through the void

The wind carries the consonants and vowels to me

coasting and careening away

letting only snippets fall upon my ears

It has been so long since i was here

since i knew you

too long since i have sat to speak through the pen

i thought that you

maybe that whole era of my life

had gone

i think i was just depressed and ready to leave

if the moment would only come to me

instead you pulled me from the muck and wiped my eyes clear

you held a mirror to me so i could see all my flaws

but then saw that you were looking at my beauties

and my heart began to heal

now that my shoreline is back

my little hovel of access to me again

i think i can maybe start to find my home

i don’t know if it is where i live

or who i live with

all i know is that i need to reconcile my heart to my brain

so i can find the hammock again and enter my youth

as the warm sun beams down and the fresh grass hangs in the air

shielding my eyes from the radiance,

buffered by an honest small smile,

your fingers wound in mine
