✺ i am alive and no longer ache ✺

out —

where i feel at home,

i’m like a warm and steady rain on pavement,

a gentle breeze in the summer,

a willow bent.

here —

i am a stationary object,

a lowly cactus in the desert,

a weighed down thing

by the snow capped mountains,

from winter into spring.

out —

i feel i can breathe easy,

open the windows to the sea,

cold as it may be, i feel ...

free.

here —

where the sun rises,

and i feel it before i wake,

i am alive ... and no longer ache.

— Elle Verena, “i am alive and no longer ache”
