She is fine
Until she falls
And then
She crawls.
But no one sees you when
You are beneath
Their feet,
It does not occur to them at all,
Unless they too have
Been
Below
For they know without a doubt,
Recognizing the sound
Of a barely beating heart.
I have such a story to share,
So many stories within
The story.
Where do I start?
Her heart softly replied,
“Just like you breathe one breath at a time,
As you step one foot in front of the other.
In every moment you pause.
One memory,
One word;
One word at a time.”
A red cardinal over there,
A mesquite tree over here.
Mother Nature shows me many creations.
The smell of wet saltgrass and dirt
Fill my senses.
This oak tree I am under,
Her leaves shine as if coated in silver
As raindrops sparkle setting delight afire
Within my heart.
Nature presents herself
As is,
The individual decides whether she is beautiful or not.
Love,
Breathe
And be.
Open your heart.
Open your mind.
Open your eyes.
Drop the definitions.
Knock down the fences.
Obliterate the walls.
You are in your own way.
You have constrained your mind,
Your heart.
And wrapped yourself
So tight in definitions,
You cannot breathe.
This barricade you have built
Has left you with nowhere to go and
Nothing new to see.
Now,
You have limited your own vision.

You are the moon
And the the stars and
The air in between that touches me,
That fills me and empties me;
The gravity and the lack thereof,
Everywhere
And all the time.
Pulling me, freeing me.
My lungs, my heart, my mind and skin
Crave and weep.
Bliss. Rhapsody.
I want more.
I am tending to my Angel wings.
They refuse to do their part.
They have left me cold and stranded,
Left me weeping in my heart.
They are tattered and worn.
They are bloodied and torn.
They were not this way
On the day I was born.
~
I see your Angel wings are tattered.
I see that they are worn.
I hear your weeping heart
And I want to keep you warm.
I know your soul is weary.
What if I told you mine is weary too?
We could both try together
To mend a tear or two.
We can find a strength in each other
That knows no distance,
Knows no time.
We will find a strength together
And again we will fly.
Again with stronger wings,
Again with shiny souls,
Again with beating hearts
When we have patched up all the
Holes.

He carries this world in his heart
And when i look in his eyes
There it is;
This beautiful gaze full of
Love and starbursts.
Confusion.
Smiles.
In the kiss, lucidity.
And he blinks in morse code;
My heart dances.
Suns have come and gone
Time throughout.
Here we are.
Hands linked
We leap.
