swept through our house.
lilacs
and rain.
the world felt heavy some days,
drenched in questions.
but the iris bloomed, a
nd i ate a bowl of cherries
kissed by evening light.
some things feel too complex to hold,
like how the noise of the world
is getting louder,
but so is the silence.
some things feel too big to hold,
like the future,
but also
the present.
i haven't found any answers,
maybe only more questions.
but the aspens are dancing,
my son is laughing,
and the hummingbirds will return soon.
maybe for now,
that is enough.
maybe for now,
that is as close to an answer as ill get.
