2013 reflection: in contemplation of what we must survive in order to arrive. here. now.






i carry these words
the baggage i have chosen
heavy
in every sense

lighter though
as i pick through
determining
what is and never was
mine

i want to say things
to share
all that i have learned
am learning

but all these words and dozens of years
and thousands of pages
don't
   make
      sense

i think of all the shoulds
and could have beens
i berate
judge
criticize

in the silence i know the truth
the message
everywhere

forgive for there is no one to blame
no one even to forgive

the gift is wrapped like pain

conscious and free
i am not what happened to you

i'm not even what happened to me
