…2 billion seconds

Aug 12

Written By kim brown

…i wish i could reach you-

remind you to breathe-

lay your head against me, to assure you that even the unknown wants you here-

to encourage 1 additional second-

then another and another and many many more-

to confess that i too do the same-

oh my darling, we’re doing it all wrong-

fighting for days, when hours feel like wars, and minutes unsustainable-

it’s the seconds we must ease into- we must celebrate-

sometimes i sit in place and simply move my neck in relaxing circular motions-

it connects my mind to life- alerts my soul that we’ve made it to the next gifted second-

then seconds greet days, and days unfold to months; that eventually turn 2 billion seconds into years of testimony-

and somewhere; someone is at war for their tomorrow, as i too for mine- because pain can be quite convincing, and loneliness rather loud-

but oh look at the seconds ive survived; simply creating strengthening words for another, thats somehow manifested itself back into me-

wherever you may be-

you precious pure soul-

stay with us-

stay with us-

stay with us-

and one second shall reach for the next- and the next shall reach for the next- and the next and the next and the next- ❤️

oh my luv- it’s the seconds my darlings- congratulate the seconds-

i celebrate you-

i love you-

and im so proud of you-

unknown, but so very seen-

i promise.

kb ❤️;❤️
