Unstuck

Let's get unstuck,
you and I
and change our routine.

Today
we can fix the things
that are broken.
Or at least we can start.

All it takes
I believe
are a few steps,
and a clearing of my mind.

And if the wind doesn't wake you
you won't be disturbed.

i really enjoy this poem makes me reflect on a few things in own life great work

I really like the end. I do not fully "understand" it, I feel what it means. That makes it very good poetry to me!

And if the wind doesn't wake you
you won't be disturbed.

So many possibilities of meaning. Nicely done!

Simple and seemingly unpoetical content in each line comes together as a poem. I like it and not sure where is the trick. Perhaps in the umbiguity of the last lines? The image of an unconscient or dead partner scares and confuses me. Great poem.
