day after...pack it away...

 so, it is the day after....
for days and weeks, memories come and are shared...then the day before and the day of....the celebration of your life begins...

now, the day after...
to pack it away-in order to live. and it never fits the way it was before...nothing ever goes back in the way it came out.  i have changed, somethings are different in me, so not sure how to repack it in order to have it fit.
i don't think i ever will get this, and that is ok today.  unless you have lost great, you don't know about this yet.  the repacking.  the careful, picking up tenderest things and carefully folding them back into a shape...to put away.
in order to live.

the sun sets.  another year...

 so many things to tuck away to live.  to breathe, to keep on....

 tender memories...

and then...a soft touch of wine to a sore heart.  again.  grateful.  sad.  tired.  worn.
right now, i just hate this place.
i still don't get a vote.
i know i will do better...soon....
just today, it is quiet.
the day has passed.

that's all for now.
