we are a collection
a sum total
of everything we experience.
tears that show
how full we are,
brimming
with joy and sorrow
that spill over
providing release
of that which we can contain
no more.
sighs that come
from contentment
connection
or despair,
almost barely
audible
exhales
containing
secrets
hopes
and dreams
from our most private places.
each small moment
adds to those of the past
and creates
the most lush
expression
of all we are.
feelings
thoughts
and ideas
that maintain
their individual significance
but become ever
more powerful
when strung together.
