I’ve been…

packing my life in boxes

remembering moments shared under this roof

our engagement, our marriage, the birth of our first child.

removing the roots from my remaining trees and plants

uprooting a life

to be planted into new soil.

I’ve been trying to catch up with my son

chasing his enthusiasm for life daily

while day-dreaming of a long nap in the sun.

I’ve been buying new colors

in pillows, and blankets, and candles

to set the stage

for a new home.

I’ve been finding my faith in the surrival

of holding the darkness away daily

and finding more ways to dance

in the light.

I’ve been moving

one bad memory

one hard day

one more struggle

into a place of forgiveness

surrender,

release.
