You are a Taoist sage
in a tiny green body.

You are a voice crying out
in the wilderness like
John the Baptist.

You direct me towards
the connection of all things
large and small,
seen and unseen.

Your laughter cuts through
the arrogance of my youth.

You call me to a deeper wholeness.

May the Tao that cannot be named
flow in and through you.

Thank You. I Love You.

i would much rather
you hit and bruise me
than leave such emotional scars
on my frail heart
i would much rather
your strikes upon me
than aching; crying
in the middle of the night

broken bones heal,
while broken hearts
do not

*(k.s)

Just like a song
You're musical

Just like a song
You're rhythmic

Just like a song
You're hypnotic

Just like a song
You're lyrical

Just like a song
You're in my head

Just like a song
You're catchy

Just like a song
You're on repeat

Just like a song
You're inspirational

Just like a song
You're my favorite

i got the feeling
i was losing control
felt like i drank
too much wine
or had too much caffeine
in my bloodstream

the walls felt like
they were crashing
down all around me
there was too much air
but i couldn't breathe

you were like
a panic attack
coming on

i hated
every
minute
of it.
