If I’d Only Remembered {Not} to Listen

..

The world’s got
a funny way of saying
I love you,
a sunny way of flaying
my skin
wide open and
………….{still}
asking me to shine.

    Long difficult days at present.
    Then I read one of your poems
    and remember
    that life is a celebration
    and I breathe
    and smile.
    Thank you.
