dance with your wildness…

i want to dance with your wildness
and play in your beautiful mess

– butterflies rising

dear broken people…
please stop disturbing people
who are working on themselves
and starting to heal
if you’re just going there to break
them again or to try to make them do
your work for you too

– arbitration

– butterflies rising

…it’s in the way he walks in
wearing respect like a nice suit

– butterflies rising

if it needs you small, don’t let it hold you anymore.
don’t let anything that needs you ordinary
tame you ever again.

– butterflies rising

to be
close to you…
the most
tender and
terrifying place
i know

– butterflies rising

you are
this wilder way,
such a
sweeter touch…
some deeper place than
i’ve ever known

– butterflies rising

i want to fall
into that beautiful life
into the soft spaces
into the glow
where there’s moonlight
where there’s soul light
and where it means
something if you come close
and let your heart beat
against mine
