She had never felt a
Tender hand upon her cheek.
All these years so
Hesitant
To soften into a touch.
And so he danced lightly.
And so she wept.

The Window
I awoke with a loneliness in my gut.
My face
Damp with tears I must have cried
In a nightmare.
I turned to my side
And
Set my sight
On the light
Fighting to filter through those
Dusty,
Lifeless
Curtains covering my window.
And I knew
Come what may,
The only way
That soul healing light was ever going
To shine on me
Was if I got up and opened those
Curtains
Myself.

Free
I hope wherever you are,
You are
Free
Now.
Free to be your beautiful self.
And when anyone tries to stifle you,
You don’t ever hold back.
I hope you see through them
And know now it’s not about you,
Their fear.
It never was.
You,
So beautiful.
Too free for some people to handle,
And too much yourself
That it terrified them to see how much they
Themselves
Hold back.
How they keep themselves in chains.
I imagine you dancing and singing at the top of your lungs
While the leaves fall at your feet,
Some wild autumn wind playing in your hair.
And I know
You
Are
Free.

Follow You
You opened a door
And stepped on through
Knowing full well I would follow.
Now here I am on the other side
And oh,
What a glorious sight.

Searching
In the sunlight
Of the day,
In this stillness I do
Lay
And wait to feel the
Nearness of your heart.
In the moonlight
I will play.
I will tiptoe through
The stars
Lighting up the night sky
Near and far.
Looking through sleepy eyes,
Searching for you.
I am
Still searching for you.

Open Your Door
Remember those feelings you have on a day you are struggling.
Perhaps standing still.
Perhaps crawling.
And know that others feel that way.
See them when you look around.
You will recognize them.
Instead of building walls
Against them,
Open
Your door
And step outside to meet them.
Step outside and greet them.
Offer compassion.
Offer love.
For we will never get better
If we do not
Lift each other up.
If we all choose to stay behind walls
And defenses
Alone,
We will never
Heal as people.
Alone.

A Whisper
Come along
With but a whisper.
Traverse this midnight path
In wonder.
Revel
With me in the moonlight.
Let’s go drifting into the night.
Breathe
A
Breath
And place a wish
Upon
My
Lips.
Breathe
A
Breath
Once
More
And leave me with
But
A
Kiss.

I Can’t Help It
I can’t help it.
I can’t help but fly.
Fly above the chaos that I have been
Cursing
All this time.
I did my time.
I did my time on the ground.
Now I am spreading my wings.
I am turning my life around.
And I fly
Among the Angels.
I fly
Among clouds.
I fly
Even when my feet,
They touch the ground.

Out Of Room
You
Are
All out of sorry’s.
I
Am
All out of room
To store
Them
In
My heart.

The Great Wilderness
I reopened the gate
And went out into
The
Great
Wilderness.
There I returned to the
Life
I new
As a child
And became
The
Peace
I have always carried.
For the birds welcomed me.
The wind embraced me.
The trees received me with a timeless remembering.
The dirt infused my senses with vivification.
The sky opened up in my heart
And the sun became a friend to my soul again.
I recalled this is where I belong.
There,
In
The
Great
Wilderness,
I did live
Once
More.
