slow dancing embers
free but altogether caged
diaphanous heat

finding my reasons
has been a difficult road
but I am budding

my senses delight
in the simplest of freedoms
realized wishes

i am not my pain
i am vulnerable strength
i am my own dreams

the epitome
a friend who loved through and through
I’ll never forget

awaken darling
I deserve better in love
even from myself

plant my heart in poise
bloom in my true existence
grow out of hiding

heart broken open
in the presence of giants
with no need to hide

truth has a heartbeat
my feet dance to the rhythm
I’m learning myself

somber overcast
my eyes fixed on the lighthouse
grateful for a path

slow hairlines fractures
morphed into numb atrophy
hold fast to healing

I saw it coming
a tower falling slowly
disintegration

field of wildflowers
a lover’s broken spirit
violet remnants

haze of indigo
synchronously lost and found
wistful for past cheers

gradient heavens
truths held in your reflections
beauty shaded blue

haunting shades of green
will I ever find my home
or always wander

embrace in yellow
in the bad times, remember
come back to the sun

tangerine tango
blooming flutterings in tune
synchronization
