A sign language Understood completely without a single word To know what one feels A living eulogy To be oneself Without apology To be cheered on By your own team Receive outstretched arm When you fall A desire to be known Weathered scars and all.

Do everything you can To tell someone you love them Even if they don’t understand Why someone would. It is a given That one who struggles To see themselves As loveable Need it more Than those who Love themselves more Than you
Each year I gift myself A new year calendar Full of native flora From my chosen homeland To tempt myself To go out and explore To fill each day An unwritten space With wonder
A plastic Christmas tree Or ailing pine struck From side of road Does nothing for me Summer draws you out to Parade through tracks Winding into hidden Vales to find Berries and blossoms Winged creatures calling You into the forest A place of miracles Magical moments
As time is short No kid could live In a candy store So sweet revival Of my soul Happens in a week Unmeditated Two minds collide Barely sleep Smile and stories To be shared Tea and toes Limbs entwined In brief space Of our lives Delving into Love from afar Greeting new day Goodbyes harder To say with words
Count the stars of heaven
