warm hands fingerprinting crisp glass.
oscillating breaths -
between clear and opaque.
a calming condensation.
an understanding of balance.
no matter the cold - your radiance endures, sweet child.

your atoms collide

even as you sit - you are:

a mass potential
you are more than a battery or a snowball or fodder for a rube goldberg machine - your energy is intentional.

be like the seed:

fall to the ground…

and soil yourself.

this is the pathway to growth.

tiny hands grip tail

eyes bulging…”MEOW!” “MEOW!”

cat prays for swift death
me-ow!

be.

continue to be.

always be.
because: you are.

of a million strands of kite string - forming tornadoes through a heartbeat:

you release like a whisper - thin; but intentional.
you are a call to listen.
you are a prayer to red blood cells;
a promise of sounder sleep.
a comfortable thunder.

so send up your kites (no matter the weather).

erupt.

and rest among the whispers.
be deep.

you spend your days among the graffiti:

under your bridge - shouting your expletives at an echo.

i'll spend my days walking right above you:

singing through a megaphone.
p.s. thanks for the motivation.
