Message to a Friend

I surprise myself every week my nails grow longer
 And it always comes on a day I thought I did nothing 
in a week I thought I did nothing
And I am aware of how stressful it’s been lately 
I’ve read the news and read the analysis and I’ve read your tweets about it
Let’s not forget there are still leaves on the ground you can walk through 
And clouds that pass by 
And did you know some weigh more than a ton
And did you know there are people trying to own these clouds because they own the water that they’re made of 
But don’t busy yourself with this, your not a lawyer who litigates cumulus nimbus 
But just remember there is a man on the 
Moon
And tiny performances 
You can watch the light come through the window 
Or wonder why your hair turns grey
But remember its still growing even while your preoccupied 
Even if you don’t do anything 
Tiny mountains are climbed 


good line:

And did you know there are people trying to own these clouds because they own the water that they’re made of
