Youth
A hurricane of love and chaos blew through
my house this weekend.
Board games
TV shows
And 30 second attention spans
Hurt feelings and reconciliation
A cycle on repeat
Once every 30 minutes
It didn’t stay for long
But the cleanup is unbearable
The destruction left behind
From a whirlwind lasting 30 hours
So simple
So absolutely non-stop
A wealth of life and energy I could only dream of
Such vibrant smiles
Such fragile mentalities
Such a wide range of expression
Such beautiful beings
Humans
Who still have their innocence in tact
A goal I could set for myself
for the next 30 years
and still never accomplish
