Weather segment reports skies
will look sunrise enough for you
to reconsider and know day
is worth waking up to.
If you can’t find your sleep,
when I finally find mine
I’ll dream for us both.
If no dreams are dreamt
the world won’t exclude us
from being present.
I find that beautiful.
How deep do I have to reach
into myself to welcome
my belonging here?
In the archives of tomorrow’s clouds
I hope enough, until I become my own
archivist.
I believe that I’m pulling out fragments
of my future every time I find the strength
to rise out of this bed.
I find trying too is beautiful.
