So many years wasted
In the mire
Of miscommunications
And
Stubborn egos.
Do not let this be
Another one.

Tranquil
Your lips find the words
i cannot say.
delicate nearness,
face to face.
shared pulse.
eyes half open.
tranquil euphoria.
and now we sing
and now we swim
our senses never ceasing
to seek and hold one another.

One At A Time
I am climbing.
I turn my back to the
Wind
And try to catch my breath.
I taste the blood
On my lips
From the hit
But I do not cry.
I will cry later.
For now
I keep on.
One step,
One breath,
One blink,
One heartbeat
At a time.

Own Ocean
Do not fear the
Infinite depths
Of your own ocean
Simply because the
People around you cannot
Swim.

spinning
bare
the new grass tickling my skin
the world spinning as i look
up
and see you
smiling
and the touch of your hand as you brush my cheek
gravity releases its hold on us
and we float above
gone
there is love
and the world is gone
the air is gone
and I wake
there is love
and the new flowers bloom

As If You Did Nothing
I do not think you know this
Because
You are
Always looking at others
As if
Better than yourself,
But
Light itself
Travels the universe
With joy
To be
Reflected
From your skin.
You cast that love so far,
So high,
You have helped others create wings
To touch the sky.
And then you smile
And
You walk away.
You walk away as if
You
Did nothing.

Still There
I saw the sun shining through
A little break in the clouds.
Shining down
Far away from me.
And I wondered,
Will whoever those rays of
Sun are shining on
Take a moment to
Look up and see
The sun is still there?

Reflection
I leave the house in a hurry
And forget to glance in the mirror.
I return home late afternoon.
When I finally set eyes upon my own reflection,
I smile as
I see not much has changed since yesterday.

Open
Please throw open every
Door
And each window in this house
When you speak of death.
Let fresh air fill every space
Light cannot reach within.
I must catch my breath.
I must see the sky.
I need to hear
Birdsong interwoven with
Your words.

Anything
Wild and free can be anything.
To me it is wandering in the woods off trail.
Eating fresh raspberries and blueberries
While listening for wild animals that may come.
As a young girl,
Taking off alone to
Ride that beautiful white mare
Bareback up mountainsides so steep
And through Forests so deep.
Her mane in my bare hands and my legs holding tight with every change in direction
And lunge.
Giggling when I turned corners and almost falling off
When she reared.
Finding bear tracks in mine upon returning back to where I
Started.
Catching the curious eyes of a lynx
And hearing the thump of a beaver tail,
The squeak of a porcupine in a tree.
The sweet smell of dirt and rain
And the silence of heaven in the wind singing in my ears.
Trusting myself and the earth.
In those wild and free moments
I died and was reborn again and again.
They saved me from death.
I understand now.
