Someday I think
I am going to finally take this for granted
accept that the other shoe
is not actually going to suddenly drop
and stamp out all of this precious,
hard won sweetness
that is my life right now.

It will no longer feel fragile
and amazing to me
like the first tiny bright buds in spring,
clinging impossibly
in the last of winter’s winds.

It will no longer surprise me.
It will just be my sweet,
vibrant,
delicious life,
perfectly normal to me someday.

But not today.
