let us be

the perfect temperature

a hard thing to find when we convince ourselves it’s never quite right

too hot

too cold

too windy

too sunny

i didn’t put on sunscreen

i wish i brought a jacket

just a few degrees

hotter

colder

could make all the difference

but then i’m walking between the trees

utterly content to my skin deep in these shy rays of sun

confident the flicker of wind will pass

leaving me refreshed

happy to walk in, among, through, and between these changing paths satisfied to feel more warmth on my face, because this is spring and life is here and we are alive.
