The Light

Can we agree to not fully understand, and let that be?

We can feel how temporary this whole this is, yeah?

The wet paper frailty of being human

Inside our hand me down perspectives

Fragile and thread bare

Loose leaning against each other's loose meanings

Full of holes

And worn through

We only get away with this for so long

Trading our time for some coins to throw in a well

But I am still water

And this is still life

And I am still mine

I am a bomb rattling in my chest

A hammer, crashing through

A mountain of failures

I am, the whole sun

A sputtering star

A hung breath disappearing

I am an exclamation!

An idea machine

All the colors combined

Outlined

With both Hands open

Writing love notes to myself

About the lights in my life

From sun-bright, to pink cotton

Around, again, for another try

And then take off in every direction

Glowing through all the shapes I make

Through the copper holes in my heart

A punctuation of light

Aflame, electric, in every direction

Look at what your light did now

I keep writing love notes to myself to

Write about joy!

And the ways I follow it

And how much I've grown to know that

Love

Is the first letter in acceptance

And change, and you!

It's there if you're looking for it

I promise it

It's inside of you

Already

You Daredevils, & dreamers

Rolling under a turquoise mountain

Crackling into the night

Another. World. Is possible

If you want it. If you make it

You Pioneers

Pushing your miracle around the pavement

Sparking, and scraping

Escaping into your shapes

Spinning, and Wide eyed

The inventor of your worlds

A body underlined a thousand-thousand times

Strapped to the front of the ride

I can see "it" all over you

Marked by all the births you've been through, to get you here

You grew some more today

I keep writing these love notes to myself to

Say about the fire that was put into me to heal

When I didn't know how to

Got talked into dimming down

Forgot how to fly

Didn't think I could

Cut my hair boring

Couldn't sing every word

But my Friends-in-Love

Pulled me up from my free fall

Helped me burn every bridge to light the way to what's next

You reminder mountains!

Pushed me back onto my volcano

And we rang out

We rang out like iron bells hung in the arms of oak trees

And carved the words "keep going"

And so I keep exploding out in every direction

Like the sun

Young and love

Saying songs about what became of that boy!

Wandering out loud

Trying everything

And then give it all away

So there's nothing left to lose

Staggered blocks

Little probletunities

On the edge of an impossibly wild ride

That I won't survive

I have been alive before

And I'll be alive again

And I've been dead too

And I will die over and over again

Spread out In every direction

Like the sun

So, If you are alive

Raise your hands

Keep them open

Reach out for anyone
