foundations

sadness quells and for the moment I can breathe
memories burn brightly then fade
not knowing if happiness is in the remembering or forgetting
sighing I feel for my touchstone
bearing natural energy I calm

soothing spirits move my soul
turning in the internal faith
knowledge builds from experience

life in and out I sigh
relearnding things I thought I knew
there is always a better foundation or view to behold
learning what is now, in the moment

I focus on each being around me
there is lessons here
with hopes not to repeat the same mistakes

with tenderness
