A Thousand Years

When I got home out of the October rain, I felt inspired. I turned on a vinyl record, lit some candles, and wrote a poem. It felt good to put ink to paper and write something that lifted off my soul onto the page. It's been a long time since I've written a poem, but I want to try to reconnect with my writer's heart and right now in my life the timing is good to restart that passion for writing. I want to share with you what I wrote and I hope that you enjoy.

A Thousand Years, Today

A thousand years of feeling something

is still felt today

The electricity of the first thought still echoes today

And we would wait a thousand years more

to write it down again.

A thousand years of loving someone

is still loved today

The shining glow of the moon and stars still burn today

And we would wait a thousand years more

to feel it all again.

A thousand years of existing somewhere

is still existing today

The oxygen of ancient trees lingers in our lungs today

And we would wait a thousand years more

to breathe it in again.
