Wicker ♥ Park
HAVE YOU SEEN ??!!?? they ask.
It’s BAD. REAL BAD.
the storm …
& shhhh, please, shhhhhh, I whisper.
I can’t.
I won’t.
not yet
Not. Yet.
They’ve closed the park, they continue, who knows when it will reopen … ?? …
The Park
As if it’s just some random, one of a gazillion to choose from, PARK.
But where, how ?? do I even begin to describe how I feel about Wicker Memorial Park …
and how many pictures must I retrieve
to try, just try, to catch a sliver of a smidge of her quiet beauty.
She saved me, she did.
In every remarkable sense of the word,
this tiny spot on the map
healed me, inspired me, calmed me, spoke to me
and gifted me,
time after time after magnificently spiritual time,
treasures so delicate, so private, so deep, my heart aches even thinking about seeing her now.
& so, I’ll wait
until she’s stronger, until I’m stronger, until we receive the go ahead announcement
THE PARK is open again.
This park, our park,
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU,
Wicker ♥ Park.
