stay there forever.


the wisdom of winnie the pooh still gets to me. It's filled with child-like, innocent hope and poignancy. 
it's a simple thought, but one filled with a genuine love of friendship. and now, a poem...

Hold hands and hold on.

(do you see its pulse race?
and my whispers, quiet quiet?)
slow down, frantic child.
don’t let it go away now:
the road is a million miles,
a hazed horizontal, the shore.

It’s time to hold on, let the feet
drag on the pavement, hot
Like the star’s organic aura,
And travel 'cross the land, not
Unlike a mouth asking for more of.

More of this motion,
Heading in towards the ocean,
But crawl slow, slow, now, and
Watch the sky change shapes
And wrap you up in a drape
Of sea foam and titanic white.

(do you see its pulse race?
and my whispers, quiet quiet?)
now is the time to slow the pace
and enjoy the scenery of this place.

so let's hold hands and hold on.
