if ever the gentle deserve
presses up against the scarred
windshield of a life
you’ve driven through
don’t press the breaks, just yet
there is always the wind to twist
through your curls
the shiver of firsts
the rain storm of new beginnings
slowly the weight of tomorrows will come
with their new share of forget me nots
let them come
in due time
let them come
if they will it
they will let you live this over and over again
this worthy moment of unforgettable
let the universe seatbelt you.
