Dive right in

I have decided to live,
To dive right in and notice
The good and the bad,
To capture the tears that drop
From me
To notice the laughs that escape
Without control
I have decided to experience,
To appreciate the warm glow
Of the afternoon
To cherish the burning of
Used muscles
Discarding the logic that has
Confined me.
This is what you
Have allowed me to learn.

Maze

Occasionally, shards of light
Seep through the cracks in the opaque blinds
Shedding light over shapes momentarily
Enough to imprint forms into memory
And traverse this caliginous maze.
