is this the day

is this the day
to slide out of your shell
while the tide rolls into
the hollows of your shoulders

is this the day
when your skin blooms
like a mango
ripe to the silken core

is there a way
to slip past the trees
to where the air is laced with gold
can you carry it back
liquid, alive

does it wake you
breathing on your cheek
touching where words
do not go

is it time yet
make it so

For me, personally, I don't think that this is the day to do it. At least, completely. But I sense that day will come.

Thanks for dropping by my place. You're always welcome there.

Well, heck, "completely" is a feeling, not a real thing. A little bit goes a long way...
See you soon--
