Bird’s-eye View

Let me fly

not to run away

but for a bird’s-eye view

of reasons to stay.

Let me fly

so high above Earth

and visit the heavens

– experience rebirth.

Let me fly

back into your arms

giving you my life and

keeping you from harm.

✈️

Lost at Sea

you told me you loved me

and those words

held me with such

strength and softness

that my heart finally found

a place to call home

you broke through

the walls of my soul

with a softness

reminiscent of

sunlight,

leaking through the surface

of the ocean

now I’m homeless

“Stay soft

don’t let the world

callus your soul”

as I turn

to the ocean,

my new home

🌊

What is Love?

Love is like an ocean.

It is deep and profound.

You cannot conquer it.

You can only feel it’s intensity.

It could either feel chaotic or peaceful.

 

Chaotic, for the ones who don’t understand it.

Peaceful, for the ones who are separated by time and circumstances,

But nothing can keep them apart.

💙

Luna

I remember the feeling was new;

A discovery beneath my skin.

Fresh faced, barely sixteen,

Becoming a self real and true.

Before we’d met and after too

It died with our deleterious parting

How I notice myself dearly missing it,

Trying to let go of resenting you.

☄️

Fall

Look at the earth

When the cloud burst

With tiny droplets

And the trees

Shed their leaves

For a new season

And tell me

F

Can’t be

Beautiful

❌ No Diving ❌

I want to dive into

wild waters if

only for a minute

until the earth

has touched my

whole body and

reminded me to

swim.

🏊🏽‍♀️

Ocean Blue

within a world

as chaotic as mine

you find a way

to bring me

the serene peace

of mind that I need

🌊

The Horizon

I am heavy

as the sun,

smearing clouds

through the sky,

aching to sink

into solace;

your embrace;

the horizon.

🌎

Beauty of Post Irma

and suddenly as if seeing the

beauty of color for the first time

i am awake

like the raging of storms have

been stopped

i feel as though

i can rise from the waters again

Brave Wings

Just when the caterpillar thinks its world has ended, it grows a pair of wings and turns into a beautiful butterfly.
