Mar 2016
send the draft whispering like an elusive ghost
a substitution withering in the blank corners
a dusty vase shafted with flowers
rosy reds and ****** orange,
yellow clementine and pine green
peace of mind lurking where
the golden sun shine hits the
wall of dark grey matter,
empty space singing melodies rocketing
like buzzing bees chasing
and ladybugs swirling,
didn't know the baggage leaning
grew the calluses on my palms
and strengthened my shoulders
my collar bones sometimes
give out from my own weight,
but I claimed the luggage
and now they seem to float
like sunshine spilling over
the impression of a landscape,
I come home every night
to water the flowers,
greeting the ghost I decided to let go
I was set free
acquainted with the
distance between you and me
I am willing to leave alone
for the wild flowers to grow
I'm giving you up
and forgiving it all

~Send My Love
