we forgot to feed the spirit.

it's happening right now. everything we ever wanted.
but each day passes quickly without our realizing
yesterday and everyday before was cemented in a fear
we couldn't identify. in a loneliness we tried to ignore.
our youth soaked in the immobilizing efforts
of everyday, forgot to feed the spirit.
we stopped listening to the way rain and wind falls
around us. stopped watching the sun
light up our bodies. stopped holding onto the warmth
of capricious contemplation. stopped our search
for more.

all the while dreaming of a life that will let us feel
beyond the fettered efforts of our past. it's happening
right now. everything we ever wanted.
