I needed you today
and I went out and got you
you eased my sleepless brow
progress not perfection
and here i see it in every direction
and the stream flows on
it flows on
into it i cast my troubles
watch them float
gone
and i ran
and i ran
following my little man
watching glee running through his veins
feeling alive in my bodies pains
and i was alive
and it was hot
and I sweated into the crucible
filled it to the top
in there
under the canopy of tree ferns
I am protected from self
I am protected from me
and i feel the stillness
and my body as it pours out pain
the stream washes all the energy
allowing me to make the measure of me
and i watch him
self contained
happy
joyful
faster
happier
than i
and i watch him
watch him fly
my thoughts
of you
I ran from
and once energy spent
I allowed you to come to me
and you were all around me
in the moss
the insects that found me
how beautiful you are
how gentle
my foot drops into icy water
wakes me
from staring at that fern
and im thankful
thankful for
space
in this space
im reminded
what a wonderful life I have
its a life to share
not to choke
with over care
and im thankful
im thankful
in pain I want to cling
its an instinct not effort
and i would suffocate you
and i dont want that
so i learn
I learn
and im thankful
I needed that wheezing run
to remind me that icy dips can be fun
and that blissful face
of boy on bike
renewed me
chewed right through me
refilled
redialled
up the wattage
on a million volt smile
