A heaviness inside I wish I could stop focusing on
I notice
A blast of heavenly redwood and faded embers deep in my nose
Skin tingling
One sweet memory of childhood
I notice
A trail filled with fallen leaves
Faded sunset
Still alive under my feet
I notice
Deep breathing as I keep pushing-
Pushing through the slight dryness of my tongue
A chorus of feathered singers chime along
To my heartbeat
I notice
A delicate touch of a small fern
Its vulnerability clear to me
A tiny voice reminding me to trust
I notice
Broken-
sticks, leaves, and fallen trees
I release what no longer serves me
I notice
