it helps to think of it

 Though things may look different,
it helps to think of it like
You are stepping off of the porch onto the dewy grass
It is nighttime, the porch light has not turned on yet
And you are standing there with your arms just off your sides
And your fingers open ready to catch the world
Looking up at a bright moon between the trees
Breathing in and out quietly
And the ocean breathes in and out.
And your eyes flash knowingly,
As they always did,
And your face screws up into a smile,
As it always did.
And you turn your head, seeing Grammy,
And a whole life begins, the stars appear
the cedars rustle in a soft wind,

And you say, “Hey babe.”
