It’s incredible how the world spins
hundreds of miles per hour
Even while I feel like
I’m standing perfectly still;
Sometimes I feel like I’m playing hopscotch with
the Earth
And the only thing moving
are my eyes, following the
almost imperceptible shifts
of time sliding gently by…
But damn,
The moon looks beautiful
tonight.

You gotta catch
the sounds within
the sounds.
It’s the subtleties,
you know…?
Even the little ones
matter.

I get high
so I can see my lows
and recalibrate their frequencies.
I get as elevated
as my vibrations
so I can flow freely
as the smoke pluming from my herbs,
and meander across the air
like the steam rising from my coffee.
I ascend higher in myself
because I walk tall
and sitting low
is uncomfortable.
I inhale flowers because
I nurture and nourish myself the same as my garden;
feeding body, soul and melanin
with water, [sun]light, and air.
I toke leaves and buds
because it’s in my nature
to grow –
And when the beautiful seeds of creation take root within,
and branch out,
I have infinite room for their expansion.
I breathe (in) these healing vapors
to hydrate my mind
and purify my body
as I connect with [my] Spirit;
Meditation the energetic playground
through which my inner child
flits and frolics.
I smoke trees
to oxygenate my inner space
and circumvent the vacuum of
rumination and confusion.

Morning coffee,
Outdoors,
Silence –
my Top 3
Any given day.

My heart has been full,
but just today it overflowed;
And it’s been brimming with
unspoken truths
that threaten to spill from my lips,
my eyes,
tinging my words and gazes
with an almost melancholy emotional depth
at any given moment.
At times
it feels almost unsettling
to be so outwardly vulnerable
with such uninhibited intensity
opening up like a well-loved book
to someone I can’t even read!
So me and my effusive heart
return to our safe space;
Back into our sturdy shell –
Hermiting ourselves away from the rest of the world.
Still,
I feel you gently chiseling away
all my fears and doubt – my insecurities on full display.
Like a bandit veiled in darkness’ cover
in a museum of dreams,
you’re quickly and efficiently
cracking through the shields
around my heart.
Breaking through the calcified walls of wounds
I’ve surrounded myself with
across time and existences;
And at this point,
I’ve lowered my defenses –
won’t be soon before long
that I fully surrender
to your love.

You tend so much toward the airy-fairy
that any attempt to help you aground
makes you feel tethered, trapped…
You hardly seem to realize
that sometimes your brilliant mind
and exuberant wings
need a rest.
You don’t see that
sometimes pit stops are necessary redirections;
but…
you’re never restricted, love –
No matter what,
you’re always free to fly.

artful formations decorate my skies
as haze and clouds swirl past my head
and then I look up to behold
nature’s own art.
Deft brushstrokes and cottony ribbons
strung across endless blue depth –
and the longer I gaze,
the more it seems
that I could just fall in…
If I just don’t blink;
Who’s to say
I won’t?

hang me up in the sky
like the star I might’ve been
my light is unlike the others
I wouldn’t have lasted long anyhow;
I tend to hide my light
so others don’t have the chance
to dim it
before I decide
how I even
want to shine in the first place.

I need to write
like I need water;
As often as possible
it feels almost as
necessary and natural
as breathing…
More reliable
than other humans;
expectations don’t come
with nature.
I just want
peace of mind,
clarity, and solid discussion
If that happens only with myself
I’m beyond good with that –
I’ll never stop being who I am
or
speaking and walking
in my truth.

Explore
Moving around outside my comfort zone
finding experiences I normally wouldn’t seek;
existing in my own space…
Feeling out the vibes that most align
with my current energy.
