sometimes
this world feels
like the heaviest place
that we could ever know,
and it aches just to breathe here.
but then i look around,
and there are all of these
beautiful things… sunlight,
goodness, stars… you.

she’s a flower
out in the wilderness…
touched by moonlight
and free in the open air
and wild sun

in the way a
flower out in the wilderness is beautiful,
touched by nothing but open air
and wild sun…
i hope you know… you matter now.
chosen by no one.
belonging to yourself.

you turn these still
places into breathing,
this. warm sun… how it wakes
a motion
you take this feeling in me
and turn it into a high road,
and an open life
you can’t come here and ask me
to feel all this love, and not turn it
into the shape of you…
you make everything beautiful,
everything about you is
made of soul
and you say we’ll find a way…
promise me we’ll find our way

the sunkissed ones,
they leave a sweetness with you
that changes the
air you breathe forever

the way the
sunlight danced on her skin
and stardust lived in her eyes…
he knew he’d never want
to look away

wanting everything
and ready for nothing,
intense energy
and inconsistent energy
terrify me all the same
when both passion and fear
have you fully consumed…
this is what it is to have a heart
born in the soft light of the virgo sun
and a sagittarian spirit that dances
under a restless gemini moon
– the sun, the moon, and my heart
