It's
dark out
don’t think the moon is out,
but wouldn’t know for sure since these buildings are blocking half the sky
As I walk, I hear the trickling of the rain touching the pavement
and see my breath being drawn like little clouds in front of me.
As it departs from my face, it goes out dancing with the cold breeze
My nails are purple, I rub my hands together creating warmth
but it’s like rubbing two ice cubes together,
all I get is water running down my palms
No umbrella, just my leather hooded jacket
I continue unto 57th ave and Lex
Where I will indulge in my favorite chocolate chip croissant
with the best Colombian coffee out there
The coffee doesn’t only warm my lungs as it travels down my esophagus
but it fills me with life knowing something so beautiful can be created
I continue three blocks down and three to the left
It's not because of The Plaza that I notice I have finally hit the biggest greenery in the city
but because the air welcomed me with its pureness
I see a couple walking together, and a few runners that don’t mind their sneakers being wet
Aside from that, Central Park is as alone as I am
A few people here and there but in the end it’s empty
I heard someone say one day:
“…we're all lonely. And all life is, is just trying not to be…”
and today out of all days that resonates with me
Makes you think, no?
How that could be one hundred percent true,
because sometimes even when you have a partner you still feel alone.
Is that sad? I wouldn’t be able to answer that for you,
all I am certain of is that, that is life.
As we continue to move forward in life,
toward the greenery,
toward the place where we are going to get rest and breathe in fresh air,
we will encounter rain and storms and sometimes we won’t be able to see the moon to guide us,
but know that even if you get to where you need to get and find yourself alone,
walking on your own path with no one by your side,
it's better than deciding to stay at home and
never experiencing your joints hurting from the freezing cold,
or having to wipe down your face from the rain hitting it.
Life is better experienced, and being “alone” is not really being alone.
No one is ever alone,
place your palm on your left side of the chest,
do you feel that beat?
That’s you,
you are enough.
Keep walking,
who knows? maybe we meet in the greenery.
