stop

sometimes you have
to stop packing, and
moving, and starting
over, then over again.
sometimes you have
to find a place and
stay put for awhile,
for more than just
a day. you have to
unpack, get settled,
hang some pictures
on the wall, paint
the rooms and build
a fire, get another
dog. sometimes you
have to say, okay.
this is good, i think
i'll stay, then
lean back. take
her hand, and just
let each day fold
gently into the next
and see where
it all goes.
