Mind forgets
Eyes slip past notes
Paper retains, but is lost
Only fingers remember
A lone melody.
And maybe that’s enough
Every song forgotten but Cannon In D
Me: Why can't I give up and just let go?
God: I have a plan for you here.
Me: I just don't understand.
God: You will see in time what I have in store for you.
Me: when?
God: When the time is right
The birds awake with song
I know it won’t be too long
Until the sun breaks at Dawn.
they still
                 comb the beaches
                 for bones

they still
                 light sticks
                 of incense  

they still
                 remember
I gaze at the time,
it's eleven fifty-nine.
I won’t sleep tonight,
when I got you on my mind.
Today is a day full of gratefulness

So to my mother
I love you
thank you for being the light in my dark world
unspoken words,
years of silence

it is time
to spread my wings

to embrace;

i am transgender
The black ink pours in
The white page is pure gold
Wisdom seeps through
Transforming the lives
And the knowledge speaks
To the people in every fold
