This side of the looking glass May 10, 2014

  

Warmth comes in waves with wind, the sent of the season floating over me, intoxicating, making it nearly impossible to contain the stem of thoughts winter brought, or keep hold of the fading hopes she's born year in and year out, needing now to find some new venue to begin again, perhaps too depressed to appreciate the fresh air this season brings, her world suddenly silent, and I cannot fantom why, what ticks on in her head, plans reinvented, schemes to be redone, or does her silence signify something else, some aspect of life I cannot comprehend from this side of the looking glass, has she gone down into the rabbit hole, taking the pill that makes her taller, smaller or does nothing at all, the silence of what was rather than what will be, this wind, this change, blowing less sweet than I first believed, carrying hope to her, or away, or perhaps to nowhere at all
