The last few years have felt like a blurr, but now it feels like things are glowing 🙂

It’s winter but
The future is
emitting light.
It’s dark outside
but that’s mostly because
we live mostly at night.
Vibe; phosphorescent
not real yet
but I feel its essence.
My future, future self
is reminiscent.
She thinks about the year
that she hoped things would change,
she let go of fear,
she let the universe rearrange.
The year that she received exactly
what she wanted;
it all gradually came to me
it was never chased, never hunted.
I finished my script
then it was time to sell,
if I sold it by my 30th birthday
well, wouldn’t that be swell.
But, “I’m not worried”
life is better when enjoyed
not rushed nor hurried.
I’ll keep teaching English
because of I am lover of literature
a lover of words, of nomenclature.
Also, happen to be a lover of nature.
Spring will come and winter will fade,
dead leaves for flowers
will make quite the trade.
We bought a patch of land
we never knew what we wanted
but now it’s all planned.
Can’t wait to build our home
brought to us by
little prayers and little ohms.
Tiny home living out in the woods,
shipping container turned into a locally made good.
Wearing carhartts,
connecting pieces and parts,
my partner and I,
we will do this together.
Me? Build a house?
I would have thought never!
Then, later we will gear up for the fall
Gear up for when we answer the call
Filming the story I dreamt up in my head
I can hear actors saying lines
that I wrote in my bed.
Deeply inspired by my drive through the swamp,
deep down in Florida where the alligators stomp,
deep down where the story takes place,
deep down where my main character
learns the story of grace.
Wrap up filming
probably not in 2023
but probably 2024
and by then I hope to be
living in my house
writing a dozen stories more.
I am thankful for this new year to evolve,
it’s not like the things from before
will completely dissolve;
We can alchemize the past
We can live in the present
We will wait for the future
I can feel
that it’s phosphorescent.
