Spit shine

Let me spit shine some words for a ramble

on this page words my words be

rhythms set free they walk stride skip

carrying you along for how long

we’ve yet to see remember

to breathe now breathe

necessary you

know

Quiet

Quiet

A sweet sound

Heals my depths

All the way

Through

Dancing with the day

I do not fear

the word or experience sensual.

So much of life is.

This cool crisp sweet-breezy morning,

a tasty being,

all senses dance.

These are my words

dancing with the day.

 

Complete Where I Am

I am complete where I am; loss does not incomplete me.

While loss does not incomplete me, I’m tired of it, though my weariness has no bearing on life; life happens to us whether we like it or not. It is how we react that makes a difference, or, if we are not paying attention, makes no difference at all, and leaves us trapped in sameness, an unpleasant cell if ever there was one.

We are, each of us, whole and complete, simply because we are. Voices, experiences, messages, losses, all these things can lead us to believe that without something outside ourselves we are not whole, not worthy, that somehow without the presence of another, of something, we barely exist, if, in fact, we exist at all.

I am complete where I am; so are you. Loss does not incomplete me, nor does it incomplete you.

Be you. You’re already there.

Live.

O Sweet Words

*

O sweet words hold me close

You my perpetual company

Friends and family all

Removing my heart’s chill

*

O sweet words take my hand

You my daily allies

Near and distant

Always there warm waiting

*

O sweet words my family

Gift of family for me

When close to you

It is then I’m free
