just a little…

i can get a little reckless when my heart is restless - butterflies rising

and maybe,
sometimes i back up
just a little,
just to breathe…
to steady in me.
and maybe, sometimes,
my fingers will untangle
just a little,
just to feel…
how to be mine, all mine.
and maybe,
i can get a little reckless
when my heart is restless,
but it’s still always yours,
all yours.

forever trying to reconcile this hopelessly romantic heart…

i'm such a soft lover... and a wild wanderer

forever trying
to reconcile this hopelessly
romantic heart and this fiercely
independent soul

i’m such a soft lover…
and a wild wanderer

but i think you’re where
all of me finds home

you are a golden thing… i could get lost in all the little ways you carry love​…

you are a golden thing in this heavy, heavy world

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
