intertwined

pitch black skies and a chilly breeze
dances across my face and my toes
fighting to take just one step forward at a time

learning that it's the steps that matter
more than where I find a home
though wanting nothing more than the comfort of the indoor

where do you begin
when the life you thought you had shatters to the ground
actions and inactions intertwined

simply trying to understand the world
a broken rib cage enveloping a patient heart
just watching the world turn through heavy lidded eyes once again

everything I've ever learned in this life so far
seems like penguins and polar bears
are really just the same after all
