you were the kind of hope
that soothes an aching soul
just the sound of your name
makes my bones feel whole
maybe i never got the chance
to tell you
that the kindness you carry
so delicately on your shoulders
and the rooted rhythm of change
you’ve had to learn to dance to
has created _waves of hope_
maybe i didn’t tell you enough
that the love in your eyes
was exactly what
i didn’t know
i needed to
know
your l o v e
your _goodness_
a glass overfull
and it has over poured
into a soothing memory
a blanket of comfort
where i can find peace
so i snuggle into the loss
comforted by the knowing
that out there exists someone
as honest, as brave
_as soul-shaking_
as you
this alone has moved me
deeper into myself
_a soothing to my soul_
you’ve reflected
e v e r y t h i n g
i needed to see in me
and left me only with
tiny bruises
of _what-ifs_
the always wondering of
what we could have been
but these growing pains
are mine
i will kiss them
and sometimes
i will cry
i will fall asleep alone
to the rhythm of my own
heartbeat
to the peace of knowing
what comes
must sometimes go
_________
the world keeps spinning
let it take what it must
to make room for
what will
b l o o m
with even more beauty
than any life experience
has yet to do
embrace all that has left you
stretch out in this new space
of self discovery
keep hope & be eager
for all that’s yet to
