thank you for walking into
the sun
as i walked away from it or
maybe
it was the other way around
i'm not
very good at understanding
such concepts
and even as you chuckled i
didn't feel dumb
i wonder why: perhaps it is
because in
other aspects of life you seek
my counsel
heed the truth in my words
i respond
solidifying my worth - easy
as that
nxt time you walk into the sun
or try to
teach me how to calibrate such
a gadget
of north east and west: know i'm
not really
following along: i'm tracing how
your shadow
protects mine
