it’s funny how you can make friends in such a short amount of time, isn’t it?
what are you wearing me nothing but a smile!

To Self:

Do you remember the spring? Do you remember how you would fall to the earth, scratch your knees, feel a laugh escape from your gut, losing your breath with the sheer delight of it all? It came back. I watched it and I saw it return. A flash of green from the periphery, leaking onto everything, infusing the edges of the world with depth. It came in as the first clear breath, and you hadn’t even realized how contaminated the air had been!

I would like to inform you that you are now seven. Everything sparkles, fresh clean and new. This time around, don’t forget you are a goddess deserving of kindness.

It is not, Raana, that my song rings highest
or more sweet in tone than any,
but that I
am here a Poet, that doth drink of life
as lesser men drink wine
