Autism
does not simply exist

on a spectrum

We
are not a limited range

Autistic Experience and
Autistic Expression
coexist

across an infinitely expanding sphere

We are bathing existence
itself

in the very light

omni-present and
omni-persisting

within us
An anthem for all of us.
Outside air flirts with skin
numbing effect slowly creeping
gusting air, a soft assault
makes me grasp my jacket tight
This poem is written about the North Dakota wind, which is brutal! f you enjoyed the poem, leave a comment or share this with someone who would appreciate it!

In the garden ,my friend,
He tends, pulling and digging
Cutting back so hope can Spring
Filling in next year’s spaces
With renewed life.

I have known this slowness
For many a year
Working through paintings
The death of his father
This slowness is my acceptance.

I saw you
And look at you so preciously
Your my gem
My treasure
My infinity
But look at you now
You're in the middle of nowhere
Almost to nothingness
Lifeless
Emotionless
Have that man hurt you so much
That he turned your heart into ash..
