poetry:
Listening
What if I
just sit here
right now
and maybe
forever
sipping tea
and poetry, breathing in
each word
like it's all
that will keep me
alive
Listening
as the right now
wild rain
grows wilder
just the two of us
side by side
pouring
our thirsty hearts
all over the place
right now
and maybe
forever
sipping tea
and poetry, breathing in
each word
like it's all
that will keep me
alive
Listening
as the right now
wild rain
grows wilder
just the two of us
side by side
pouring
our thirsty hearts
all over the place
(and)...
Dear you
you, the one
reading these words
you, with
your ancient, wanting heart
you,
wondering if you'll ever
get it right
I invite you
to pause
for a moment
to listen to
the space
between
these words
to the space
where softness
rests
and hunger
fades
to the space
that so
gently
asks you to
stop
the thoughts
that doubt
your worth
to stop the
voices that compare
and leave
you feeling
less
There is no
less
there are no
shadows or shoulds, no pretty or good
no bad or
broken, no right or wrong in
Love
There is
only this breath
and that
which breathes it
there is
only You
and your
giggling, fully blossomed
