People underestimate
How long it can take a wound to
Heal.
They underestimate how much
Gentleness
Is needed in this world
Of strong,
Yet
Tender souls.

Saturation
She dances in the rain without hesitation,
Unaware of the beauty she brings to the storm.
For even the raindrops
Relish the journey as they free fall from
Heaven,
Praying to be the lucky ones.
The ones to touch her.
Anticipating the precise moment
Of
Contact,
Aching for
Unified saturation.

Grace
The light you cast
Has found things hidden in my
Darkness.
With utmost patience you coaxed them out
And to my surprise,
Met them
With grace.

Every Action
With every breath,
With every action,
We have a choice to be
Apathetic,
Cruel
Or kind.

Corruption
You.
Sitting up so high.
Applauding yourself
As you hand out kindness to those
You deem worthy.
This is not kindness.
It is corruption
Of kindness.
All are worthy.

Wish
I wish I had walked taller,
Spoke louder,
Held my head higher.
Wish I could have looked you in the eye
Instead of looked away.
I wish I could draw a picture and fill the whole page
Without cringing.
Wish I could spread my wings and fly.
Wish I could pick up the pieces of me,
But they keep slipping through my hands.
Wish I could put them together right
The ones that I can find.

Feel It All
Time.
You cannot speed it up when you feel
Pain.
You cannot slow it down when you feel
Joy.
So let it go
And feel it all.
Dance to the music of your life with wild abandon.

Joy Of My Heart
Not once have I taken pause
To look back in regret
Those moments I put aside
A task at hand
To savor with complete enjoyment
My children;
To delight in all that they are.
They are the joy of my heart.

Word In The Neighborhood
The word in the neighborhood
Was you wanted to kiss me.
You with your beautiful eyes
And playful grin.
Sometimes I would ride my bike by your house on the way to the park.
(my green girls bike with the funky handle bars and seat)
I thought it was dorky because all the cool kids rode boy bikes
Or banana seat bikes.
(And honestly,
I was just happy to have a bike)
Anyway,
You would say “Hi” in that rough voice of yours.
Brunette curls just covering your left eye.
Cigarette hanging off your lip;
Laid back as could be.
You didn’t know I could see your bruises.
The ones you tried to hide.
(I hid mine too)
I was too shy to even speak so I would keep riding by
All the while holding my breath.
(Truthfully
I never thought I was enough for anyone)
Sometimes I remember the kiss.
Just a peck on the cheek but still…….
Do you?

Moonless
I don’t know where I am going.
Not even where I have been.
Sometimes it feels like a dream
From end to beginning
Wishing and thinking
Trying to fly away when I feel too heavy.
Maybe I should have let you kiss
Me
That moonless night.
