soul
and maybe it’s just
too vulnerable a thing…
this ache to feel it all so deep,
to break myself so open,
to feel it all so sweet,
and to crave the wildest ways
that it can burn,
to let it make me such a mess and
bring me to such an edge,
to let all be such an
untamed. passionate thing.
maybe none of this is the safest way to love…
but i don’t know any other way.

and
what if
you just hold on,
and what if life
holds so much more
than you can see
right now

how
beautiful it feels
when they
want to know all about
the worlds you hold
inside of you

and in
every life
we fall like stars
into each other’s skies
and we dream our way
into each other’s
destinies

close…
it holds
all these fears,
but all this softness,
in the most
vulnerable place
we ever know

for so long
i wanted you to hold me
until i realized how small you
needed me to be to fit
within your grasp

In October…
let it be a growing season,
of change… of turning… of shedding,
of letting things fall away and fall apart,
and come undone and be uncovered…
let a new version of you
be discovered

this is a growing season,
of change, of turning, of shedding,
of letting things fall away,
and fall apart, and come undone,
and be uncovered
and then a space of surrender,
and being, just being.
and the reflections here are temporary,
so take them in and honor them,
and be honest with them, and own them…
but then forgive them,
and don’t stay in them
let it all go… let yourself bloom
