orgami's Diaryland Diary

on listening and being a dad for someone

almost sun up
so at least Im not dreaming

not working yet
the holidays
spent with family

going to meetings

listening
hanging out with others

shaking hands
and reflecting
on the asking for help
getting help

and realizing this city
is very fantastic

so cold
but the kid and I went
to store way up streets
past big highway cross
lights at seventeen eleven

pickles

stretch legs
talk and walk

the moon out
the stars out
some lone cars
the wind whipping snow
about the ice still
on the trees from christmas
day rain

crunching underfoot so cold
the snow the sidewalks still
not plowed christmas lights
aglow windows lit
trees singing in the breeze

hoodies and two pairs of pants
scarves and mittens
winter boots money
and purpose

"Wow you made it" as we
draw up to the door on our
walk

"You always underestimate me"
she says turning to me with
those green eyes straight on
no bullshit look

"Yes I do always underestimate you"

I havent seen this side in awhile
the one thats always there

we have a good trip back
wind behind us

sometimes the beauty of being
alive is just that simple
