waking

this morning i woke and wondered

what do the wordless want to say

as my tear ducts emptied silently

beneath sleep-heavy lids

my heart began to ache

for it has been broken

and as i sat and listened to my body

i wondered what wonders will be coming

and how i find mended more

and memories

what true love actually is

filled me

with the peace inside

those past echoes

and in that innocent moment

i relived an eternity

and was still

hearing the birds chirp

out my window
