to be steady in the soul and free in the spirit poem….

i want to remember the depth and the feel of the stars that i come from, and always hold an unshakable knowing of the voice in my soul so close

i want to remember the depth and the feel of the stars that i come from, and always hold an unshakable knowing of the voice in my soul so close… but be wild-winged, chasing my wild curiosity, running wild-spirited on starlit nights under wide-open skies, growing and discovering and feeling it all… i want to know what it’s like to be steady in the soul and free in the spirit.

now that i know you exist, how do i not love you (full poem)…

now that i know you exist, how do i not love you - butterflies rising

now that i know you exist…
how do i not love you.
how do i not follow this gravity towards you.
now that i feel this, how could i ever not. feel. this.
i don’t know how i could ever be here in this life
and not. love you. i just have no choice.

but then… you made a choice.
and now i have no choice.

and i don’t know how…
how will i be here in this world
with you somewhere else in this world.
how. will i learn to pull myself out of this gravity
and not feel this anymore now that i have felt. this.
how…
now that i know you exist…
how do i not love you.
