oh, I really hope you do...

this spring

I hope

all your dark places become lighter

and

you have color where there isn't any

~~

this spring

I hope

all your larger than life dreams

unfold into reality

and

that your clustered thoughts

unfurl themselves into only the good ones

~~

this spring

I hope

you can stand in a dark parking lot kissing someone who means the world to you

and

find yourself still thinking about it many days later

~~

this spring

I hope

your deep down desires keep moving you forward

and

that your feelings towards others never have to be questioned

~~

this spring

I hope

you can feel warmth when sitting next to a stranger

and

lay on the grass with a friend and watch the clouds dress themsleves in cotton

~~

this spring

I hope

you dance on the street when only you hear the music

and

never stop doing something because it might be considered silly

~~

this spring

I hope

you throw your window shades open and lift your face towards the sun

and

laugh out loud because someone lightened your heart

~~

this spring

I hope

you have an evening when the moon dancing off the lake wakes you up

and

that you appreciate the interruption

~~

this spring

I hope

you can walk down a previously hidden path

and

come out in the end having discovered something life changing along the way

~~

this spring

I hope

that the connection you have to the people closet to you is true

and

that your conversations flow like a gentle stream that never ends

~~

this spring

I hope

you reach up towards the almost touchable evening stars

and

remember that all we have

is now
