the last full week (2-24-14)

it's getting down to the end, here.

my mind is drifting far past the
dirty, snow-covered ditches and
well-trod, icy paths to warmer climates.
to mountains covered in green.

to coffee shops abuzz with the clatter of dishes
and the warm, welcoming smells of fresh brews.
to that well-deserved shaking off of old winter weariness
in exchange for some springtime adventures.

to leaving without a look back.
not out of spite or regret, but with excitement.
knowing that each new day and each step forward
reveals something about myself
I hadn't taken time to realize.

this last full week, it's going to go quickly
and then it will be over
and then i will be
gone.
