She woke up and made the decision not to wear her seatbelt;
She always wondered what it would feel like to fly.

I'm acrophobic
But I ain't afraid of heights.
Instead, what I'm really afraid of
is the fall.

life is like
when you're
a little kid
and you
discover that
there is more
than twenty-four
crayons in the box
that there is
the possibility
of forty-eight colors
of sixty-four
of one-hundred and twenty
that there are
so many shades
of love and anger and peace and despair
and absolute bliss
and the ability
to express them all
are now
in the palm
of your hand

life is
colorful
beautiful
thought-provoking
lovely
soulful
heartbreak­ing
inspiring
and absolutely wonderful

every day is
a new sunrise
a new chance
to transform into
the butterfly you
want to be

go out there
and change the world, kid

i fell in love with you in july.
bursts of your love shot like fireworks in my soul.
first a hello,
now a goodbye.
newfound love, all a lie.
i lost you in july.

just because she looks okay
doesn’t mean she feels that way,
too.
please check up on your friends. they may look okay but their fighting silent battles.

my dear pretty starling
you'll hold my fragile attention
for no more than perhaps a season

but i'll still sit under your acacia branch
collecting iridescent feathers
as i listen to you beckon away the sun

and my dear pretty starling
soon you'll migrate to warmer evergreen
so i wish your wispy heart farewell

for mine has rotted off like bad fruit
but i'll still tuck away the seeds
for your curious beak to plant elsewhere.
