remember

Life is good. No matter what.

The mountains I hike today

have the exact same woods of last year’s

And the year before

I already know what’s behind the shadows:

nothing at all

The stars that shine on me today

Are the same as last year’s

and the year before

I already know their voice:

“remember who you are”

Always, always, always

they tell me the same thing

Magic always follows

It presents itself in the palms

of all that greet me

whether they know it or not

To listen to my heart

is to know that part of me

that is never fooled

by the layers of crust on the walls

that hide the diamonds within
