The bravest thing I ever did
Was to look in upon
Myself,
The parts I have been fearful of,
And love myself with
The love I had dreamed of coming from
Another.

Muse
Look at life as if your muse.
There she is right in front of you,
In the sky, the earth, the creatures around you.
The air that touches your skin.
The fruit that grows on the trees.
Look and see. Breathe and feel
Everything,
Everyone
As if new everyday.
So mysterious,
Magical and deep.
Fall in love again and again.

Think What You Will
You can think what you will of me
For you do not know me.
And your thoughts do not affect me
Unless i allow them to.
How simple,
Yet how tangled we become in things
Intangible.
And even if you do not listen
I will listen.
And so it goes
And so it is.
And here we are
With little choices every moment
That lead to big choices
In the one moment.
And so it goes
And so it is
And here we are.
Even if we live in the same house
We do not walk in the same shoes.

Quickening
Quickening.
This unfolding.
Turning
Shifting
Reaching
For
The newfound
Prism of
Uncountable
Bursts. Energies within.
Fascination.
Life.
To live fully
These breaths that fill my
Lungs.
Expanding each step,
Each glance internal,
Above
Around
Below
Learning
As if never knowing everything about anything.
Open. Never full. Ever room for more.
Opening with every blink of an eye to new
Knowings.

Not Helpless
Those helpless times.
My hands feel useless.
My heart loves.
My mind loves.
My soul loves.
Circumstances may make me feel this way sometimes
But i know I am not. You are not.
If my hands cannot do anything
Else but hold yours
In this sterile room,
I am not helpless.
You are not helpless.

Side lines
There are those souls in life who return to the sidelines.
They are the ones we turn to
For
Encouragement.
The souls who do not relish the spotlight.
Not glory.
Those who cheer us on,
Stay steady and strong.
Who doctor our wounds
And share words of wisdom.
Patting us on the backs as they send us back out there
Having faith in our capabilities we cannot see ourselves.
We forget sometimes they themselves
Are human.

Other
Why did you have to tear me open
Today?
I was just looking at how fine
Some of these hurts have healed up.
You thought you might make me bleed
Blood red like you
But upon a closer look, you
Found untamed wildness, stars and
Feathers leaking into the sky from my
Skin.
Now I am laughing. I am such an unknown
Substance even to myself
And now
You are blind.
Find me with your other senses.
We may crawl. We may walk, swim or fly
With this unhindered madness.

Twisted
I get lost in the words
In the conversations
I do not know these games
These twisted
Ways
I do not know how long
I was staring at the wall
I do not know where my mind went
Maybe i will find it some day
Maybe not
I am quite content
With it coming and going as it

Chair
Mama’s rocking chair sits in the corner of
My room
Covered in laundry for months now;
Reminds me I miss her.
Chole Into Diamonds
