Reading – ‘Small Awakenings’
Reading Time: 2 minutes
I remember small things, small awakenings, tiny moments that helped me discover who I was realized I never quite lived inside myself before that summer when I first saw you how my hands could touch the world around me, that when the breeze turned cool before a rainstorm I could feel it cause whenever I saw you it always seemed to rain at least once the sky cracking open with a rush of rain and lightning and the sweet, low rumble of thunder crackling through the hot clouds high above the holes in the road would fill with water and the whole place would become a river yes, that summer I tasted the rain just to think of you and I noticed how the warmth of the sun could caress my skin cause it made me remember your eyes they were bright blue like a summer day, when the clouds skip along the sky, pushed by warm winds and shattered by sunlight and this one hot, hot day you took off running into a field of tall grass your pale arms stretching above the wildflowers and underbrush, waving a gauzy net after the white butterflies that rode the sunbeams for the first time I felt my smile touch my face and fill my cheekbones what I learned from that summer of gazing at you across picnic tables is that you can love somebody without even knowing their name and you can be changed by someone who never even touched you and that you never know who out there may be sitting, quietly daydreaming, while writing poetry about you © Naomi Sara 2022
