Baby Steps

Baby Steps

 

 

focus forward,

rewinding is wearing out the tape

it's time for a new sun

to escape the massive cloud

hinting insane rain pain of the vain

 

soul rising below humanity

replaying outcomes

rejecting the sound of anonymous 

voices

the spoken word

 

spoken,

in the most declarative sentence

ever Punctuated

with the most ear-splitting period

aloud

 

let go

let go

we need you to let go

someone will catch you when you fall

you hope.

"let go

One hundred Yesses J.. We have to "let go" of all the crippling fears, the hate, ..baby step by baby step..get back to a normalcy that, though different from the past we knew, will once again allow life and love to prevail. Wonderful beat style in spots, great metaphor, alliteration, repetition, message. Kudos!

yes, it will always be different from now on, but one day the different will become the norm.

Didn't let go, that only coz she thought other won't let go her as well, if there anyone could let her go, why does she needed to stay?
She love only love , that's all.

Oh what a year it has been. Clinging on in fear, afraid to venture out. It will change Jacob. That vaccine is about to make huge inroads. Then we can all let go and live again. Next year by spring, we will be in a different place. That's the mantra for each day.

I think it will too, Chris....
Hopefully we will be in a different space by next year...

dear Jacob... “London Bridge is falling down” is
a song we sang in Grade School as we danced around the Playground. Now we are in our
deepest learning years... and still falling down.
A “Shot in the Arm” will pick us up. Amen...
Professor... tenderly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, a shot in the arm will do that, hopefully...
and maybe we can pick up the pieces of the bridge and put it back together.
