Don't Despair






















..that freedom knows your name
or the small body still lingers,
clinging to the rails of any support
offered, when a new day opens
your old eyes
that know, you've done this before
and that this opening of eyes
is why you're here.

Remember how sometimes you woke
forgetting, stumbling out of bed
for that nourishment
just to know you had arrived,
just to make sense
of one more day.

And when your mold was set
to the shape of approval,
then you had time
to explore.

Although you forgot
for a while
believing the die was cast..

until you were reminded
there were other more natural shapes
of things in your world.

Ah, yes, that day

you remember.
