Performance adorn in stillness arriving with
power, deep within the cliffs of knowledge
freedom connects with light, beaming down
on those who have not felt the breeze
blowing past.

Awareness clings close to those who observe
without knowing, they see beyond those
who doesn't notice a flowering ****?

Who knows the feeling that creeps inside
of a person, who feels every drop of
falling rain sees every ray of sunlight
in the shadows of doubt.

Every emotion dancing above existence
in rhythm, empathizing with how Pines
trees have whipper wills singing through
the night, allowing to be heard
for a while to make everything
perfect with nature's sweet song.

How awareness is in love with
the silent observant soul!

Aware in silence

I lay a girl to rest in the flowers.
She sleeps softly in her meadow bed.
I stand by, Woman, strong.
I love her with all my heart
But I am glad I am not her.
Not anymore.
A snake slithers through the grass
His name is Death
And I am, at last, afraid of him.
When he strikes at my heel,
I crush his head.
All my force aided by
The blankets of comfort I wear around my shoulders-
Collected from my Dear Ones
And from the One above.

Suicidality fades,
Suplexed by love.
I loved myself with all the violence of a wrestler.
I threw my self-hatred on the ground;
Crushed the head of my snake.

Now-
Back straight
Head high
Hair curling around a sun bonnet
Skirt rippling out
Boots splashing in puddles
Music in ear and heart

I graduated at last
From barely surviving
To fully living.
This site wouldn't let me log in for a long time, but I just wanted anyone who has ever supported me to know that you were right. It does get better. ❤️

I can give you all my love
You know me so well
I fell for you by the look
             In your eyes
Let’s stay together forever
Everyday you make me crazy
               I love you
I will love you forever

I could live with you forever
Forever and ever
I could give you all my love
            Forever and ever
I can tell you love me
        By the look in your eye
Your sweet smile
Funny ways
So many beautiful days

I could live with you
          Forever and ever
I can’t imagine life without you

Everyday is full of surprises
When I’m sad you make me smile
Sometimes it takes awhile
I’m living with you forever and ever
You giving me your love
I’ll give you my love

I could live with you forever
Everyday you make me crazy
But I love you forever

Leafless tree
Boughs and twigs  
Folded in Namaste

Alive and green
The tree trunk young
Slightly bent

Part of a canopy
Of the tree lined road
It rests awhile

Seasons change
Some along with the weather
Cycle of change replete
