my summer
your winter
gently start
the raging fire
a silent conversation
with no end
beginning
just divine sent
where did you come from
i cannot remember
i read a poem
one december
you thawed my heart
my winter
your summer
better ever than never

Read this poem again today and loved it…so many beautiful lines…”but I know it was something she did to my eyes
to make them see.”
You humans are all alike, no time no time,
no time is beautiful, before birth and after life.
My pancakes are shallow thoughts
stacked in the kitchen,
she adds a little honey.
I’m late for work at the hardware store,
mostly robots looking for spare parts.
They’re not like her.

when
will the job be done
when the moon comes up
or the sun goes down
can’t fully comprehend
as i label
think
only some are able
one virtue
better than the other
winter harsher
than the cold summer
the white stars wait in the dark
to be understood and be seen
is the real
hidden in the dream
hold my hand
don’t stop me as i wipe your frown
when the moon comes up
and the sun goes down

they spoke
i listened
did not understand
chose to be distant
i spoke
they did not listen
chose to hear
the other voice in the distance
alone with millions
never understood
hungry so many
when there is an abundance of food
on one’s own
as the sun descends
close doors
claim no one understands
what stops me
from knocking on your door
be honest
i would like to get to know you more
make art
go on a mountain retreat
disrupt a life of
wash rinse and repeat

the road walked
is beautiful when
one looks back
now and then
worries about tomorrow
fade away
when one bravely smiles
as the other walks away
the road forward
becomes clear
when one dares to love
without fear
taking pleasure
in simple things
being in awe
of all that life brings

you blessed me with freedom
you always made the time
to teach me a million things
and on dark days remind me life will be fine
you woke up early
to send me to school
you stayed up late
to make my costumes cool
over the years
you showed me what kindness means
you gave me the courage to face life
when it is not what it seems
you taught me more than how to kill snakes and climb trees
you asked me to always forge forward and never look behind
you made me believe in me
you taught me being strong is being kind
not a day goes by when my heart does not ache
remembering our time together…remembering you
thank you for being a great father
i will always miss you
welcoming spaces
respectful talk
people pondering
on how to walk the talk
the list of labels
longer than ever
i need no ink
no eraser
like you
i just want to belong
but not at the cost of you feeling
you un-belong
the hues of the rainbow
can teach us a thing or two
i am special
so are you
