i could get lost
in all the little ways
you carry love, and carry light,
and hold so much
goodness in your being,
you are a golden thing
in this heavy, heavy world,
and everything feels new
when i look at you

Soft Soul…
you are so
sensitive, and you think
that’s what’s
wrong with you…
but it’s something beautiful
about you,
it’s what makes you
so good.

you cannot try to silence
a collective pain for so long and not
expect a collective rage to eventually come.

nothing softens me
towards someone like the way
strength of character does

and if you wonder where i went…
i walked away
because i couldn’t feel
all of the beauty and goodness
and wonder and light in me
if i stayed close to someone who
wouldn’t let me feel it

how soft
my heart is…
it just isn’t made for how
flawed humans love

some of us just aren’t made
for how hard the edges are here,
for how slow pain moves,
or how lost light can get,
and how heavy it all can weigh…
we’re surely not made for how flawed humans love.
but while we’re here…
we can try to love a little deeper, and burn
a little brighter, and maybe, just maybe,
we make it a little softer
here for someone.

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

i just like good souls,
knowing them, being one,
it’s kind of all that really matters
