purpose…

building pathways that you find your way to in the sunlight

if it keeps you
up at 3am,
i hope you’re
cultivating worth,
and nurturing patience,
and building pathways
that you find your way to
in the sunlight

fear or love…

are you fear or are you love

are you fear
or are you love,
ask this of everything that wants
to be here with you

– thoughts, energy, and companions

within…

for us to finally seek it within

it often takes
for someone to invite us to feel it,
but never return it,
and to deprive us of it where it should’ve been,
to cause us to ache for it enough
when it’s nowhere else to be found,
for us to finally seek it within

– the love

love and lilies: you are allowed to be lovely and important…

tends to love and cradles lilies

you are allowed to be lovely
and important,
to speak up, and out, and convicted
from the same mouth that tends
to love and cradles lilies

it’s stunning when you let
why you’re here spill out of you

how you look for magic unfailingly, that’s your treasure, that’s your gold…

that’s your treasure,

intimacy…

what we taste like in every color of love

what if we don’t ask this
to burden bear,
or heavy lift, and sift
through pain,
maybe we can do our own work,
so breath, and romance,
and what we taste like in every
color of love
can be what fills this space

recovery…

to let a good man, be a good man, it takes a new way

i’ve been held
by rough hands…
and i’m still healing.
to let a good man, be a good man,
it takes a new way…
and i’m still learning.

– recovery
