A Secret Garden
from The Words To Say Hosted by Kristen McIntyre
A Secret Garden For Rainer Maria Rilke How many lives did we almost lead before the ones we’re living found us. How many loves were lost in the chaos of the growing of ourselves, holes forming in the toes of socks we once danced together down the hallway in. A constant knitting together and pulling apart of the tiniest details of our daily rituals. It hurts to be alive as the seasons change — remembering our faces as they once were, the foolish little sins, our disbelief in tomorrow reaching us during the darkest nights. The key turns to unlock a thought, once buried, and we move now through the threshold as translators of a foreign tongue. To feel alive is the best reason for living, so we keep going; pressing our fingers deep into the soil, the ache of mortality at our back and the possibility of it all, budding right before us.
