Life Is a Mess

Life is an alphabet
Waiting to be learnt
Aware of its existence
Wanting to be heard

Don't hold it to account
Wait for its word
Remember in the beginning
It will be blurred

Let it climb out
naturally, let it crawl
Watch it tumble

and look at it fall

Keep it close
in your heart
Be the thread that
connects each part

Move through the letters
of ages gone
Grow up and out
become the swan

As the time slows,
Listen carefully,
as words move,
across
pages
             unfairly

Breathe each
treasured letter in
Give them your soul
and let

new life begin
