All we are is who we are with y'all always. Everyone, every story, in one book.

05 - 21 - 21 FRIDAY Y'all

The vibrant and unforgiving
face in the clouds
looking down to the Earth
to kill our hearts...
Lightning is chasing 
the wonder in our souls
I chased the lightning
out west until I turned my back
On the rain
Storms are gentle to me 
Storms must be scary for you
How did I forget this
We are still connected I know
It comes to me every morning
and takes one of my breaths
I am left short of that 
and pulled by an undertow
Then it comes and then it goes
When it comes I have nothing 
When it goes I have nothing
Nothing is better than flesh
It has more truth and that is good
Love was only a parachute 
The wonder in our souls is boundless
This world is not ours
And that is better to know than to
keep pretending like there is something
Nothing feels so much better than what we had
with metal chains for no gain only burdens
That is where we
should stay forever
With nothing between us!
Let the vibrant, violent, unforgiving sky
be kind in our eyes knowing that
being afraid is what kept us from being free
Free to love for us
Not for them
Our parachute is equally different and that is beauty
That is the birth of the body
This nothing you gave me is my
new everything and my love is free 
There are no rings and that is good for me
For our children
To the children
Let's give them that nothing 
because the storm is violent and unforgiving
So we must be kind and all-knowing 
that it is more than our love
and it was never just our love
It was that nothing between us 
that made us Everything 
When we still believed that we could dream!
