Maybe there are no bad moments
Just moments to feel all of the feelings
that we were born with.
An opportunity to exercise
all the emotional muscles to feel.
Maybe it’s the numbness that is bad.
The refusal to let feelings come through
and soak us to the bone.
Like a hard rain
when you are out for a walk
far from home
with no shelter in sight.
