Flowers in the meadow
Spring is in the air
Purple is the color
Constructed style and flare
Reaching out for the sun
Not single, but a pair
Close to one another
Separated by a hair
In time, weather permitting
Is neither here nor there
With time spent together
Are the moments that we share

With individuality & togetherness
With independence & belongingness
I crave connections deep and free

Things getting worse?
book a flight to
an alternate universe.

I want to go to the one
where time runs in reverse,
I might be able to get a
cheaper ticket

you might need to think in quantum
which is, I believe
somewhere near to Changchun

Right now, if you're feeling devoured by pain,
Remember that there was a drop of rain.
And because of this rain, a flower grows
And because of that flower, a girl's smile glows.
And because of that smile, a kiss is shared.
And because of that kiss, a bond is repaired.
And because of that bond, a new life comes to be.
And because of that life, this poem you see.
Because of this poem, I hope you feel warm
And know that I'm so very glad you were born.
In fact, I would love to come hug you, my Dear.
Please know that I'm so very glad that you're here. 💖

When the abyss looks more inviting
than the life you think you're living
it's time to hand your cards in.

I do not want to chase a life that is not mine.
I want to flow like water down a mountain.
Stretch myself
unite myself
with more streams and rivers traversing  
their way down to the ocean.

I do not want a life that is not mine.
Mine is good enough;
grace is my guide.
I close my eyes and it leads me
through the pointy rocks of dogma
and through the curving shape of time.

What is for me
will flow to me like water;
this is the nature of things.

Someday I will reach the sea
like everyone else,
but I want to do it in good company

(I want to do it as water.)
