And Just like that

And just like that fall gives way to winter,

and a year of fighting and ripping and tearing

through dirt in an effort to

make new seeds out of rotten

dead withering leaves,

ends.

Hope emerges in the form of

a stranger’s face and unread books

and crystal blue waters

and uncharted earth.

Hope decides to stay and then leave and leave again

like the moon.

In the end, we go where we belong.

In the end, we return to the places

from which we ran.
