red for devotion
adoration and patience
belated self love

pave my own stairways
new resolutions in glass
watch me start glowing

the most crowded space
set shallow interactions
loneliness deafens

I forgave the harm
but still cope with side effects
my rainbow will come

shifting perspectives
the one I was waiting for
was always just me

memories of you
gently course through my body
without meeting yet

imagine the way
feet wading through turbulence
a sailboat awaits

mirth and merriment
captured curiosity
marked inspiration

there is so much noise
some days could be all too much
i hope for your rest

an open statement
to all the things that broke me:
i release your rule

i am deserving
lost, found, productive, or not
my worth does not veer

if I could fly high
above clouds, worries, and fears
my wings would be home

the sun still shines here
I still stand in her glory
steady dive within

static images
what a complete injustice
to your mystic dance

simple joys echo
much more than ever before
a joy in itself

calm through calluses
break waves of needless worries
if only for now
