these grey days that bully the blue calculating camouflage attaching themselves upon unsuspecting cumulus do challenge those of timid mind and quiet heart to find some light and space of peace in the unwavering persistent bravery of trees

"We hold onto threads that aren't visible to anyone else. A bond, an anchor, a wind to blow out the dust, givers make merry. Walking together under a bright sun to bloom beneath. Tracing galaxies with our fingertips over flesh seeped in desire that decides not to leave. Choosing to stay, to know."

the cry & the tenderness are no longer at odds they move together through the estuary of words our dreams still cling to old stones life remains fragile as grass our hands no longer know how to hold yet our heart keeps beating

From His bright wound the living waters rise, And wash the dust where my dark gardens lay; The thorn once crowned upon His sacred brows Now flowers as light along my hidden way. Let every leaf that stirs in wind and rain turn green in spring with praise.

I have been the willow bending, barren Arms couldn’t hold my grief wind-whipped, shaking roots quaking in the storm holding on, holding on waiting for spring

Happily lost on a date with my youngest that ended at Powell’s Books. Found myself amongst the poets. Lang Leav reminded me how to find my voice again…

To be fully seen is to be encountered where we do not resolve- where the light breaks not to be admired for coherence, but to be recognized in contradiction, To be fully seen is to have one’s unfinished edges met without urgency, as if incompleteness were not a problem but a presence.

wrote your name in the air, with care, and heard it whisper back with the gushing wind. wrote it again, deep in the folded sands the waves erased it gently, leaving behind a seashell that breathes your name, soft and endless, like the ocean waves. ~rev

I cast my heart’s cracked glass into the night, Where ebbing tides have schooled my grief to shore; The frost that bit my veins now learns the light, As dawn persuades the wounds to ache no more. Past heartbreak’s struggle, I’ll choose new spring, And teach my heart again to sing.
