amid distractions . signs will appear, reminders . of expectations
with winter branches . free of its leaves, the tree still . cannot reach the moon
to be different . means everyone else sees . things in the same way
what if birds are spies . watching human behavior . and filing reports
around the corner . history waits, boarded up . to be discovered
walking in a dream . light snow crunching underfoot . the trees are patient
a tough outer shell . creates overconfidence . of abilities
with each forward step . memories become bridges . into the future
memories attach . to each other randomly . as they are recalled
simple memories . altered by the tricks of time . create surprises
