Freezer Memories

I’ve been feeling blue lately

Not the kind that distracts us from all of the painful heartache this world has to offer

The kind that collects all of the gratifying moments

The moments so good you wish you could toss them in the freezer 

And unthaw them again when you’re feeling somber

The kind that replays those moments over and over again

I lie in this pit of anguish 

The seeds, my mindless wonders

I recognize that there are times that I will submerge myself in the company 

of those whom I admire 

cling to the melodies of their laughter

engulf in warmth

Not have to dance alone.

In my solitude I feel desolate

Paralyzed by melancholy

Waiting around like a mouse stuck in glue.

Eventually the seasons change

Spring rings a new verse

Embracing this pain is the only way through.

Like the worlds new flesh, 

I will radiate so vibrant that

All those freezer memories melt away 

And I’ll be stuck with nothing but the present 

A gift wrapped in silver.

So I think I’ll feel blue

But the blue that holds me

The blue that speaks like the sky and reminds me that I’m limitless 

The blue that makes me wonder what more could I want but to be here

Right now 

Sinking into a calmness that frees me of my suffering

And moves me on my way.
