I Must Rememeber...

I must remember:

I must remember to pull back...
Not to get too close...
Or to move too quickly...

I must remember to keep things just under the surface...
So that they may be more easily lifted away when the time comes...
To let love go before it takes a deeper hold on my heart...

I must remember to move forward...
That I am not for the ordinary or everyday things in life...
And desire matters not beyond that of want and wishing...

I must remember that words are free...
Easily spoken and shared...
Harder to back up, especially over time...

I must remember that not all are as certain as I...
And that doubting is natural...
But I do not have to wait for anything save myself...

I must remember that my heart is not a prize...
Or something to be given away easily to the next pretty soul...
It is something that should be sought and treasured and earned, every day...

I must remember not to see things as I want to...
Only as how they are in the moment of now...
That time reveals everything, even the secrets that are kept hidden for too long...

I must remember that it is not just I who is dancing to tunes...
Or smiling at the sun...
Tilting at windmills is something everyone does when they feel bold enough...

I must remember that things can be lost before they are ever really found...
That nothing is certain...
And hope may spring eternal if it fed from the wells of love...

I must remember not to leap to high...
Or fall to far...
And that not every splat will end up in a bounce at the end of it all...

I must remember...
Not to forget, or dream to deeply...
Reality is a grand enough thing on its own to behold...

I must remember...
