Stream of Memory

Today The air feels like a memory Warm + soft + wet, almost balmy In my mind, I am a child again Wandering through forests With awe

The trees feel like love and I am practicing the art Of walking slowly

There is nowhere to go And everywhere to be And a stream of memory Fills me up, reminding me Where I’ve come from

I read the moon While she whispers Of all the places Written in my bones And it is good

I am resting I am healing I am breathing For my ancestors Who didn’t have the space To slow down enough To do so
