To crystallize the last 48 hours by:
the way the light
blanketed me.
like your presence.
- film
remembering
to look up alan watts.
- the drive down
southbound direction.
only this time i am not leaving.
i am finding more of myself.
- palo alto
working on new project.
good time journal.
- glimpse of our convergence
the morning sun
warming.
opening.
my heart.
- on track
leggings sprinkled with sunflower seeds.
reminscing memories
as food for thought.
- the cushions behind
blades of grass.
streaks of mud.
trails of tears.
- my face
yet you don’t say a word.
only empathy and understanding.
- care
the same questions.
repeated in seven different forms.
- grasping
searching for specific answers.
wanting to be fed the fish.
- frustration
what are you currently
feeling.
now.
- model expansion
safely nested.
lightness.
epiphany.
- hammock
finally figure out to not wonder what if.
but lay peace to what is.
- acceptance
at that time.
i was the best version i could’ve ever been.
- self
color.
wildflowers.
rose aisles.
- stroll
salt.
reading out loud.
adds flavor.
- poems
teardrop on page.
heart held outside of my body.
- vulnerability
what would you like on
your blank slate.
nothing.
- present
what more could i want.
when i already have everything.
inside me.
in front of me.
next to me.
- here and now
you.
taking interest in my writing.
with praise and shared joy.
- validation
the simplicity and depth.
at dinner.
- pizza bites
too much light all at once.
can be blinding.
- knowledge
talking in darkness.
brainstorming.
co-writing.
our stories and lives.
- you and i
another firebird.
taking flight.
- my gratitude for you
