how are you
how is your heart
I haven’t checked back on you
it’s been almost a year
are you struggling
or are you enjoying
life as it is
we’ve been doing this
for so many years
did you see all the good parts
did you keep all the tears
and skip the rest
“what is your one regret?”
can you hear the clouds laughing
jumping from this mountain
to the next
can you hear the fish sing
swimming across the ocean
against the strong current
“if tomorrow never came
what would you have done?”
t.l.
checking back with myself once in a while
