Show me what is real
gather inspiration from the tip of your tongue
flower from the struggle and reality
of what it means to be plunged in feelings
surrendering to it all
letting tears flow
it’s not misery
it’s an unexpected joy
to let ourselves feel fully.

show me what is real
the soil beneath us
not transient but divine
sparkling from deep inside.

i want to unwrap
all the shoulds and supposed tos
uncovering the something in our blood and muscles
it paints us in stardust
it whispers
we are magic.
we are mystery and bravery
and a thousand other wordless, uncharted things.

let’s stop quantifying
measuring everything with our minds
let us chase what is timeless
strawberry juice dripping down our chins
long, unhurried conversations
dancing, laughing
and making art…just because it feels good
let us soak in smiles
and accept…
