my thoughts quiet
the stars still shine
the birds still sing
chocolate’s still sweet
and I am still

a tilting planet
sun sets and sways
but i am rooted to the ground.

Awareness-
it's been five hours since I started internet surfing.
Look away from the screen.
Breathe in, out.
Body check:
Am I stiff?
Then:
Consciously relax my shoulders, my arms, my face.
Adjust my position.
How am I feeling:
cold?
anxious?
scattered?
Am I tense because of:
hunger?
thirst?
a full bladder or number two?
Pause, then rise up and do it.
A washroom or stretch break.
A sweater, a snack.
Short exercise.
Hugs.
Then resume, or stop for the day.

your happiness is my joy
your grief, my burden
I laugh when you laugh
I cry beside you
When you are angry, I lash out
I panic when you are anxious
but is it you or me?
and does it matter?
I am only built for my own emotions...

The sound of snowflakes
is peace. Many snowflakes: both
beauty and bother.

my thoughts are buzzing
my trains of thought colliding
what was I saying?

that feeling of making music with you
of singing
and harmonizing
is why I love a choir

sometimes it doesn't matter
that you're not as capable
as smart
as organized
as sociable
you are willing
willing to learn
willing to grow
that willingness you have?
that is enough
you are enough-
more than enough.

they will not live
they do not live
as I stare at the tank,
willing, hoping, praying for motion
nothing
they say the third time's the charm
we reassure each other
as we pour the remains away
so many regrets on choosing brine shrimp
my initial joy in the lab goes down the drain
with the dead
brine shrimp
