1. Ease your body into
a warm bath, stay long enough
to forget why its ending and how
time ever mattered.
2. Get your shovel
plant your tears along with faith
flower seeds for tomorrow's
sky brightening.
3. Climb to the roof, listen for
birds from a different perspective
notice the variation in song
brings clearer thoughts.
4. Wander while feeling
solid ground, allow disappointment
to flee your swinging arms
until lightness of hope arrives.
5. Leave yourself behind
the one that didn't believe
your worth. Buy yourself
colored pencils, new sneakers.
