breaking into blossom


Somedays,
when sun and cloud reach an agreement
and let you feel the coolness of a breeze touch your skin, move your hair

Something, 
in that movement of air reminds you 
that you are here, that you take up space on this earth; you are solid; you are 
still alive

Somewhere,
along the way, you had forgotten 
to pay attention to yourself, to feel 
your feet on the ground, 
to see that you have already begun to live again, to love again; to flex 
another muscle, to take another step

Somehow,
what you have been searching for all 
your life-- this moment of strength
has found you; redefining itself 
in the gentle whisper of the wind 
upon your face, breathed through the nose; the scent of what is to come 

Sometimes,
you find yourself transformed,
on a street corner, in the town 
where you live, on a windy day 
of no consequence; other than that
it is the day 
your heart is breaking
into blossom.
