Deep Ones

I choose

this kind love.

These stars in the trees

beyond the river’s glowing fog.

This heaven that slips through

the layers of my humanity.

Life

is precious

to the whispering

deep ones.

Beautiful

But isn’t it entirely beautiful

to be you.

Let It Become

It is a softness that wanders the fields with me.

Everywhere I go, it is there, sending me off on my uncertain way.

Sometimes, I feel like a small bird, left to battle the raging storms of life.

I do not fight this softness. I only seek to know it well (though sometimes I wish it were a tiger, fierce and free.)

It is me and I am it, this softness of heart.

Let it become.

As You Are

There is no need to be fearful

of the ‘not enough’.

Of the

too different to fit in,

to be chosen.

You are who you are,

and you will rise as you will rise.

Take care

and wander with head held high.

As you are.

To become

you

again

and again.

Heavy

I am a child of the wind.

My bare skin knows the beauty of this life, and yet, within these soft walls, I am bare.

How heavy it is to hold this uncertain hand of mine.

Sometimes.

A Little While

There is silence

where the gaps are.

Weeping holes

in a persons soul, for life,

or just,

perhaps,

for a little while.

In The Gentle Woods

It is the depths that call me here.

It is the silence

and the bells

of yesterdays wish.

Let there be now.

Let there be this walk alone

in the gentle woods.

As I Am

And I will quietly be

as I am.

Yes, I will quietly be.

Perhaps

Perhaps

you might ask your heart what it wants.

Perhaps

you might listen.

Perhaps.

I Am Here

Do not look at my face

and tell me

I am beautiful.

Do not look at my skin

and see your hands

upon my life.

Look at me.

Look at me.

I am here.

I have always

always

been here.
