She will touch you with her words,
She will draw the few constellations she knows across your skin,
She will hold your hands while listening to old songs,
She will let you see a part of her you've never seen,
She will make you reach deeper to her mystery,
She will be an atomic explosion inside your chest,
And she will consume you.

Just please,
Drown her with your love,
Because her soul is too strong and potent,
To be half loved..

I took a walk with life today
and found that we
are all connected.
I took it’s gentle hands and
whispered calmly beneath my breath:

“you are beautiful”

and then all at once-
the constant commotion
unfolding around me
came to a surrender.

I found myself staring at
solutions and all of the
questions that follow.

I am floored
by how simple
life can be.

There are no answers
and this is the
meaning to
everything.

We live and
we breathe and
we hold on until
it’s time to
let go.

This is not a cycle.

This is not
evolution.

This is not aging
just to die
and this is not
the human condition.

This is the experience.

This is the lifetime.

This is what we are
granted.

I long for a comfort
that I will never feel
and resent it
for it never being so.

I wonder how long
I have to go
and even then-

I am wrong.

There is so much
going on
and the cars keep
hauling
and the grass
keeps growing
and the moon keeps
setting and
the sun keeps
rising and

the story
goes.

I am not immortal
and I cannot capture
every moment
as I’d like to
and I know that
this is
okay
but as long
as I’m alive-

I’ll continue to strive
for something
better than
myself.

Even if it’s
not what I
deserve.

There are these times I am lonely
Under the luminous stars and moon
Peaceful and quiet as it can be
I know we will meet someday soon

The blue night sky at its darkest shade
Never seem to bother me at all
The lights are piercing the night like a blade
Can you hear the mysterious mountain's call?

Sitting in here
Talking to the clouds
Avoiding the crowd
Should I be proud?

Lorraine day
If the hill you must now climb gets steep
And the summits out of sight
Remember I am here my friend
Always day or night

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Don't fret about tomorrow
Please live for today
Knowing you are not alone
I'm never far away
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

My ears are here to listen
My hands are here to hold
A heart of love is here for you
Always to unfold
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Together we will walk this path
I will carry half the load
I will cry with you
Laugh with you
As we walk this rocky road
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
No matter how
No matter when
This road we walk must end
You'll never be alone again

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Remember (Me your friend)
Dedicated to my friend diagnosed with breast cancer
