We pretend there will be
a later, a some-other-time to do the thing
our insides know
we must do. We wake one morning
to find the trees almost
empty
did we see a single leaf fall? We tell ourselves
there we will be another time to paint it
to write it, to sing it, to dance it—to be it
that tomorrow
will be a better day to open wider, to hold closer, to
say
I love you.
We fill our moments with more
pull away just when our heart begins
to feel. We forget our insides
hold the secrets
we've spent a tired eternity
trying to find
A woman I've never met but know I know
is dying. Last night in my dreams
she whispered with a timeless, gentle burning—
Hold longer
Love deeper
Let the good pour out as if your life
depends on it. Whatever you do—
don't wait.

This is a truth I am only now beginning to realize.
Your writing is beautiful, Julia. So are you!
This is something I must constantly remind myself of, Deb...that it's all here inside.

What a beautiful way to say what is always lingering behind the curtain. The bold and brassiiness just idling waiting to be tapped in to. I love your poetry Jules, you have such elegance to your words.
