It’s Enough

Published on by Tosha Michelle


It’s enough to just have
an idea about love.
Sometimes it’s rooted in
nostalgia, other times it’s
planted firmly in the now.
Regardless, we follow our
heartstrings through
the atmosphere even
if the notes make no sense.

We fall through sunlight
and burn ourselves out.
Dizzy with something unbridled
We don’t think about what the
sky might do
or how thw shadows might
distort or disappear.
We don’t count the moments
before we fell.
Or how the wild bees sting.
Above us. Below us, we just
see the blue hiding behind
the clouds.

Sometimes it’s enough to
just recall the days of
scarlet breasted birds
winging it, the scent of
honeysuckles, confetti winds
and lawn daisies
Knowing the Earth brightens
with just the idea of love.
And sometimes that knowing is enough.

  2. Or how the wild bees sting.
    Above us. Below us, we just
    see the blue hiding behind
    the clouds. – I had a really cool vision off that of being upside down and all things reversed, really effective.

    And sometimes it genuinely feels that knowing is worse than not knowing, I know that’s not true, but sometimes the emotional fallout can do that.

    Great writing as ever 🙂
