whispers
She whispers to you earnestly. You listen. Your hand raises to your mouth. You look at her intently. Her neck arches towards you close. “it is imperative that you listen to my every word. I know something about you, don’t you see?:On the other side of things there is a young girl hiding in the nook of a tree. Some days she looks out and swings from a branch. Some days she stays very very still. There will be a time when you will need her. When you go to her remember that she will welcome you with open arms. She has cleared a place for you. Someplace to rest. Someplace open. The leaves will ruffle and tickle and she will listen to you with deep emotion. She will smile and coax you into laughter and tears. You will breathe long purposeful breaths. You can leave when you are ready. And she will look for you on the horizon. Hurry be on your way.”
Let that girl be me.
