Though I can no longer hold you You visit me in my dreams You burrow up next to me Our souls one, without seams I can feel your breathing You are still soft to the touch I speak your name gently You answer as much There is no better feeling Than moments like these Memories I will take with me forever Until my own last breath recedes I like to think you are still here Around every corner and cup of tea I close my eyes often just imagining Awake your absence is still jarring Making me long for sleep A place without time Where we continue to play joyfully Where the rays of sun dance along your brow, Where the water washes sand into your hair Though I can no longer hold you You visit me in my dreams I take you places you had not yet been We hold hands and frolic We run and leap and hide We are two souls but one We are visitors in these bodies Along for the ride I can still see you breathing Here I can hold you tight I speak your...

It's enough that you exist in this world There is no lack of communication There is no amount that can be misunderstood There is no bad breath in the morning There is no tick or nook   There is no scheduling issue There is no candy you snuck There is no friend who is too annoying Or risk that you took   There is no amount of groveling No title lost There is no hair in the sink There is no dish misplaced   There is no snoring too loud There is no styling conflict There is no distance Or doubt   There is no day too rainy Nor one too lit There is no moment you could lose me There is no shroud   There is nothing that will jump out here Nothing that leaves and comes back around There is no day I magically wake up Unhappy to see you on solid ground   There is no chance or luck for someone else There is no shoe or glove that better fits There is no story I'd rather have read aloud   There i...

Most days I forget all that I've lost. It is only in the daily interactions with others That I have moments I recall what all is missing; Mostly this comes as a shock. "Look at all that I once had!?" None of which I was all that deserving. All of which I worked so hard to acquire and invest Was but life's blessings. Not everyone's hard work pays off, I was lucky. And perhaps now I am not. But Most days I forget all that I have lost. I feel full and free and eager and ready There seems to me so much more in life than I was imagining. I think of love especially. I think of friendship and of family. I think that perhaps what I lost was really not for me. That it is what now lays ahead That which I cannot fully see Of which life is customizing an opulent thanksgiving. None of which I will be all that deserving. All of which I will continue to work hard to acquire and invest Will be but life's blessings. Not everyone's hard work pays off, I'd be so lucky An...

Whether it is bread crumbs or pebbling I find myself sustained, walking on solid ground My heart unwavering, Even when my head is not always able to wrap itself around I find no reason, no need, to reason with myself In life it is our motivations that move us -      to higher ground A longing for love is not fruitless,  Even unrequited I am fulfilled The state of being is enough -       to leave one vying for beauty, brilliance, and sound Inspiring the master to craft and leader to pick up their staff Love is a many splendid thing,  With which you can do most anything The pure of heart and imaginative minds Lifting the spirit of our human kind,   Planting seeds from the Divine -       for a future full and lasting for all of time
