healing
she’s got
her daddy’s blue eyes
and her mama’s pretty lips,
and she’ll stay on your mind
with a sugar-sweet kiss,
that southern girl with her wild soul
will leave an imprint on your heart
and make somewhere in tennessee
feel something like home

i will not
take care of my fears today.
i will not feed them or tend to them
or give them any space.
and if i do not take care of my fears today…
what i feel tomorrow might be something
a little bit like faith.

dear heart,
why do you run from the
things that give you a pulse
…don’t fear what makes you feel

let the
wonder and beauty
of your existence
fall out of you
everywhere, unafraid
no matter who may take it in
or hold it with care
let it all be
unshaken by the cold

reach into
my heart through
the bones of my chest
and uncover it all…
feel anything that’s there
and breathe easy.

your standards for love
are going to make some people
uncomfortable, and they will try to make
you feel like your standards are too high,
but it’s only because those standards threaten
their comfort zones.
what you believe in either challenges
how they treat people,
or how they’ve accepted being treated.
keep them high.

these soft, quiet,
intimate moments
that your heart is beating
are precious,
so if it takes
you out of your peace,
don’t give it your
little moments

when we let go of
the need to control it all
i think the universe listens…
instead of our old patterns we’ll get
spark-starters and soul awakeners,
and instead of the hard lessons we’ll be given
inspirers and spirit challengers
…and maybe it’s as simple as to just be curiosity.
