That gorgeous old elephant
         came to drink
                   at the water
                                    hole.
She sat and she drank
       deep
           of the galaxies
                              in my mind.

I pray through myself.

I'm finally coming to terms
       with the creator.
to send those echoes
              through the universe;
It's too much.

An organic being
      that's been recycled
             over billions of years
Where did He come from?
I choose to not know.

I stand in the middle
                                    God has never frowned upon it.

I'm feeling all
                        spring&flowers;
today.
Let the water rinse clean
           all my veins.

I'm feeling kisses
                              in the wind
today,
and your fingers in my hair.

it's the little things
             that end up
     tying you down.

don't accumulate too many
           little nothings
          cause in the end
they're what will make you
                drown.

I've got bluebirds
                               nesting
                     in my ribcage
I'm afraid I won't let them
                                             out.
But I know they should be free
to come and go as they please
               (because how else will anything love you?)

Don't be discouraged
                when you feel
Too Big
                at home in your own body.

Be Big
and be aware
                       the stars light the universe
                       the same way you look at them:

In love and in wonder of the night sky.

i want to kiss you
like honey bees to flowers
summer sun to faces
                                               in the name of hope
like a soft breeze
like the pulse of bird wings
