our story


Why hello out there

May I ask you,

What is your story?

 

Why do you wake up

on that side of the bed?

Why do you brush your hair

like that?

 

How do you 

smile?

Why do you

laugh?

 

What makes your heart beat

inside of your chest? 

What words 

warm your bones?

What colors,

and smells,

remind you of home? 

 

Oh would you please,

share your story?

Could you perhaps,

help me understand?

 

Maybe I could get a taste 

of your emotions.

And feel the breath

of the life

that has lived

the life that you've lived.

 story? 

 

Maybe we could blend our words,

our thoughts,

together.

Maybe our stories

could go hand in hand.
