“Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.” Christopher Reeve

Dear Me

Hey, let’s stop for a moment.

No need to hurry.
The wind isn’t blowing anywhere.
Except inside you.
Disorder magnifies chaos
when your memory revisits trauma.

One thought, one step at a time.
Savor the inside of your being.

Your coffee says it is perked and ready.
It wants to open your spirit.

Memories awaken whether you want
them to reappear or not.

No. You cannot roadblock fresh thoughts
because the subconscious can’t control itself
on the immediate level.
That comes with choice.

The next step.
We will get there.
It may take two Tylenol and
a few moments of rest.

Then again, it may take a moment away
with nature, art, or a close friend.
The next moment exists.

Look forward to it.
