never again
let your heart settle.
never. again.
hold it close to anyone
who doesn’t see
your light-giving,
breath-stealing,
fire-starting magic…
or who sees it all,
and tries to hold you back.
never again.

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

when you can feel
the remarkable, uncommon
texture of your soul,
you can’t imagine letting anyone close
who isn’t perfectly meant to
intertwine with it

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

go with me
everywhere in the world,
bare skin in sunshine,
lost under moonshine,
let’s go

don’t be afraid
to leave it all behind…
there is new light, and new life,
there are new worlds waiting

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

Moonglow…
where the light falls
and the beautiful stays
when the stars settle in…
come with me.

little seeds, someday flowers…
today i will
be good to me,
and tomorrow maybe
a little bit better,
until being good to me
is a little easier,
and maybe even someday
not so hard at all.
maybe these are just little seeds
but i’ll keep giving them
touches of sunlight…
just a little hope here
and a little grace there
and a little more light in those
places holding all the fear,
and then maybe all these little seeds
just might grow until someday they
become flowers…
and then i will be made of flowers.
