Individual

Standard

No human can magically turn you into something you are not;

A caterpillar turns itself into a butterfly.

We share information,

We share ideas,

But the individual has to do the internal work.

We have our own magic and the humble honest teacher

Leads only by example ,

For they realize they themselves are the ever learning student

as well.

We each have knowledge and experience to share;

wearing not one label or the other in the flow.

Trust your knowing.

Love Through Winter

Standard

Ah

But I breathe.

I hear a sigh escape your lips

As you see the colors too.

As you see the wind pulling the leaves from the trees.

They do their final dance for us.

 And they return to the

Earth

That nourished them.

Some ride the wind so delicately.

Others seem out of control

As if fighting the pull of gravity.

Ultimately they all fall.

We endure.

I feel the warmth of your skin

As

You move closer.

This knowing between us,

It is time to hold each other.

This sorrow,

We must let it envelope us

If we are to ever love through winter.

2014

Standard
At Midnight
She was tossing
Confetti
in the air.
She was the drunk girl
sobbing
On the park bench.
Alone.
She was the solitaire
Shadow
Stumbling home
In the dark,
In her heels.
The glitter in her hair
Shimmering
By the light of the street lamp.
Her body over overcome
With sorrow.
She was the girl climbing through
The 2nd story window
Because the keys were forgot
And the doors were locked
She was the girl
tending her heart
Because although
It’s the beginning of
The New Year
And blessings abound
Ahead
She had lost
More than one
Sweet
Love
To the
Heavens
This last year
Round.
She took
A slow shaky
Breath.
She
Let the
Knowing
Settle in her heart.
The balance.
The living
The loving
The winning
The losing.
It all means she
Is still
Alive.
