Tissue Paper Thoughts

I carry fresh thoughts of you in my pocket,
folded in pink tissue paper,
the kind we used to roll into balls, and call roses.
I number each wannabe-rose thought,
to file in pillowcases when my pockets bulge.
[192; I like the way that you turn the rustling into lullabies.]
I thought about stringing them together at the corners,
and hanging them row by row in my windows.
I plotted a map of sunrises through my house,
so I knew which room to start with.
But instead, I decided to never hang curtains.
[168; I like it when you call me Sunshine.]
I made them tiny, white cotton kitestrings,
and tied them to my fingertips.
I held them in the breeze just to feel them shake,
and wondered if they would find you,
if I ever let them go.
[127; I like how you never remind me that I'm scared of heights,
when I tell you I want to fly.]
I bought a book that showed me how to fold origami,
so that I could fold my thoughts more creatively.
I practiced folding paper boats,
but they sank in my bath water.
Maybe they were beautiful enough already.
[102; Because you're already perfect.]

| I really like how you have woven in parts of your "Tissue paper" list. It added originality to this piece. Nicely done. |

This gave me goosebumps. Your words embody the true essence of both softness and a quiet strength. I loved the imagery, the creativity... It almost seemed like a dream, wispy along the edges; a sort of living water-colour fantasy with a hint of melancholic breeze. Absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing with us.
Warm Regards,
~S.

The imagery this write brings is lovely...I for sure will be watching for more from you. I think you could write a book like DeLint just from this poem. :)
