First Draft

Message to him
I stare at the screen like it owes me something, Each minute a question, each hour a wound. Did I say too much, or not enough?

Tree roots & wheat fields
Gnarled and broken Exposed over stones Down the dirt embankment Old tree roots Searching for the safety Of Earth Of dirt

Northern Light
Snowflakes write poems in her hair, Each step a verse, each breath a prayer, She is the fire in frozen air, The quiet grace of those who dare.

The Wheel Turns
Being a witch isn’t always easy, I have to trust myself each and every day. To be my own safety and security. And let my intuition guide me.

Untimely Bloom
The smile that once graced my face disappeared in a heartbeat. You took my essence and vanished into the distance.

I sit here hugging the ocean And yet I hold nothing Choking on tears of fear Of futures lost Was it just a stepping stone

Note: we just had our election up here in the Great White North, and it seems like things are heading down a particular path.

A love letter to everything I have survived
Darkness in its deepest sonder, desolation in its truest bareness, all embraced my shattered skin, Enclothed in the tightness of survival, the light that belied in its invisibility propelled me to keep my hope akin.

Would you?
If you have to sacrifice your life for me, would you? If you have to jump off the cliff to save me from falling, would you?

Moonshine
I asked thee, where am I going? Somewhere your heart is looking out for, Somewhere the flowers never die, Darkness fades away with the light of the fireflies', Where it rains to see the grasshoppers dance, And the sun shines to see that one sunflower smile. The stars sleeps with the blinks of silver glitters.
