foot to the ground

and face to the sky. you are small didn't you know? as tiny as the needle reaching to drink ms. penny's juice for a little bit, as small as those red cells that reluctantly drip in...
and 35 is coming to a close, thought it would be an awesome year, full of laughs and blunders, hand holding and mushy kisses, but those elements happened in spurts, just like those little red cells filing in the plastic tube.
i'll be a year older soon. and what have i learned? did i learn my lessons, have i lived up to the life cycle of 9 the psychic told me i was in? a life with a revolving door. i'd be tying loose ends, following goodbye to the too quick hello. and i'm standing here now in my own little blue universe with pretty pink stars and who is ready to file through the door today?
i've lived through lazy tunes that compel me to sit at water's edge and flick drops with my big toe, i have dived in head first wondering how i'd get back to air. i've walked slowly away, my back to reaching hands, knowing they'd only pull me in.
blue is a gorgeous color but dangerous to stay in...
