55/F For Thomas Jackland RIP who introduced me to Kahlil Gibran and I am forever a changed poetess...
peak peaks peaks again, a mountain rehearsing its own astonishment. peek pee--k a keyhole widening to let the future eavesdrop. pique p i q u e a spark that refuses to stay alphabetical. All three collide: a summit that looks back, an eye that bristles, a curiosity that climbs.

Fault Lines
We have come to a precipice There is nowhere to go we've left civility a long time ago and forgot who we are Frequency and light Now is the time to tune in to a higher place that quiet place within simply sit and breathe with the conviction to end all suffering. It only takes a good few of us to find our peace within to change the course of humanity from the brink of extinction. And those who have lost their way let them see the light in your heart from your commitment to love and kindness.

Start Here
Let the force of truth and justice reign all over the world We are here. Speaking the truth. It is raining peace It is raining love It is raining kindness no more war no more brute force no more violence let the meek rise against tyranny let the forces of love prevail Now and forever.

Go Within
I am no saint but I could try To shape your name with my lips To whisper divine Sacraments to you It’s not futile To believe we come From this one inimitable force that governs our souls as long as we can fathom the intangible we can mirror the love in all things

Pray
From Northern seas— a pointillist dream; a woman of lithe measures descending into the sensation —a noun rather than an adjective Her ideology— blowing across infinities of sand —provides imperfect warmth to her hyacinths and nethers There's something terrifically oceanic about it—she starts out softly floating and then whips herself up into a gorgeous, overbearing squall She can tell that there are storms in each and every pore—but the difficulty of teasing out their contours reinforces the impression that this is private skin

Living Spa Water
We all strive To be our best version Of a perfect self We all want The perfect body The perfect things The perfect poems But the funny Thing is It’s always The quirk The flaw And The ingenuity That always stands out

castle of sand
I have no children. in living flesh. the sum of my prayers seemingly unanswered. A karmic debt possibly. granted me stillborn dreams of becoming a mother from my own body's fortitude. Who knows why. except for the grace of a higher power in the quantum field of creation. for this reason. I don't dare feel child less. I am child free. Free to love everything deeply as the urge within my womb to create wanes. dissipating into a great love affair for what is. waxing every day. Taking each breath with more than a grain of salt and calling it. Freedom.

What Is
We could be sages again Burning with the moon You dying with me To be risen from the soot of our bones We were vicious once Licking the flames from our limbs Mending deep as the stones Come lay down your demons And be anointed by the fire
