would
if i died tomorrow
if i died tomorrow would anyone care
⠀
would the leaf stuck in the gutter
grate finally fall in
⠀
would pining winter finally catch
the elusive hand of spring
⠀
would porch lights come on later
so childhood could play a little longer
⠀
would daylight peek-a-boo clouds
to tell new life it was time to be born
⠀
would my dreams watercolor drain
down the shower as they washed off
the last of me
⠀
would anyone care if i died tomorrow
and the world rose lovelier without me?

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
