I lived today. I breathed. I moved. I was. I hope I helped.

Because you exist Is the best reason For you to persist

If you’re satisfied with yourself And the world you live in, Is that your cue To start again?

I see a bee pollinate a flower I see a girl dance to her favorite… I see two men swing and dissolve I see a wolf thin a herd I see You, being You, just to be…

I don’t write poems for poets Flowery language, indulge us I break it down With a simpler sound And anything more would be less

I might be self-absorbed But I’m not selfish I work on Myself Because that’s the best way For Me to help Us

I like to watch... an ant traverse a grass forest a flower unfurl in moonlight a muskrat reap trifolium a leaf quiver in mid-day breeze

Sittin’ in a patio chair Breathin’ in the cool night air Listening to the breeze Rustling leaves in trees I’m being the love of life

It won’t be pretty the tears the snot the mess Lifetimes

I choose to be The Most Unclean So you can see The God in thee

Treat yourself Like you wish others Would treat you

Just being yourself Is the absolute best way To show the world love

Embrace the darkness It’s the only way That your light can shine

I can blend seamlessly Because I find parts of me In ev’ryone I see

I stretch your being You respond with shocked intrigue Sparks dance in-between
