Tattoos on my heart

Burn this to my brain

tattoo it on my heart

what I know now

I wish I knew from the start

time

measured in moments

goes by too fast

yet in equal measure

too slow

it is the inbetweens

of this life

that have allowed for growth

windows

portals

to what was

wiser now

heart song found

grateful all my days

to stand

bear witness

bow down to the universe

for allowing me the ground

may I keep walking

ever forward

present

with memories burnt

to my brain

tattoos on my heart
