It'll be winter soon but you could have fooled the trees, Left stark and bare to a careless wind Wearing nothing but their roots, They stood watching time slow as the cold came early this year. A thought sits planted in my minds hand Grasping at a concept Raw insides and organs bereft I remember something of my chemistry, That energy cannot be met with destruction, It changes it's Form but remains, still, Kept, If there is no heaven, I would understand, For heaven was a soul that I met Already, Fear glancing off the bright slivers of sun She leaned out a beat up car window in a yellow cardigan, Yelled hey! Jessie! Swooped in changed life For the better Changed future To worse Changed the past Into best She crept into my bloodstream grinning, taking a tube to swim down on, and splashed singing, Have you seen the moon? Look at the clouds!! Every time I look up I fall out of the sky again Hating such vastness For showing such reality Her beauty uncontained Kaleidoscopic Every day a different shade of shiny, A different blink of bright, Suddenly my sight is saturated with her lessons And her presence, Ever-present. I grapple the edge of reason, Tip into the realm of prayer, 
cast my heart a stone and give up a diamond From the pressure there alone, From between the cracks, the light finally shines, And it hurts. How does the bending heart open, If not through tears, Fissures missing, The fear is gone, of the other space, She now walks among her peers, It's getting cold here. The trees think it's Winter, But it's months too soon, The rose still sits on the windowsill, The scent of summer lifts, And her magic now sits between your fingers, Listen, listen to the lingering beckon, To embody these teachings, Reckonings may come, indeed they most likely will, but for now, look at the sky, have you seen the sunset? Have you seen the moon?
