I've been somewhat uneasy lately
with the nearness of my youngest
heading off to full time school
For years I thought it like a pass
that would give my heart wings again
and allow me to soar into my own desired destinations
and yet I'm aware
I clearly haven't given my heart enough heed over the past few years
even when some days it screamed at me to be heard
I will have to spend some time reconciling with it
before it can learn to trust even me again.
