spring

end of february and buds and blossoms have already arrived in vancouver, early ambassadors of spring.

spring. a season. the axil tilt of the earth is leaning toward the sun, as daylight hours grow and stretch and increase. i notice it already - it's not light out when i leave work, but there is a stripe of light blue along the horizon. "The hemisphere begins to warm significantly, causing new plant growth to spring forth, giving the season its name."

spring. an object used to store mechanical energy.

spring. a natural source of water.

spring. a town in texas.

mostly i am considering the first. seeds planted and the winter thaw revealing new life in unexpected or forgtotten places. i welcome it.

further from the point

here i am again
the same predicament
i was in not long ago
and we're all just walking spirals
from the inside out
further from the point
less certainty more doubt

in that boat again
sinking
but saying we're smooth sailing 'cause we're afraid to swim
as we're all just doing laps
getting closer to the edge
where we find out that we're trapped
and this is all there is

the same decisions to be made
the same outcomes to be weighed
we're just trying to stay on track
and carry what we can
without breaking our backs
or breaking what began

you won't get to heaven
if you don't let this one in

yes we're all just walking spirals
from the inside out
further from the point
less certainty more doubt
