What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?
She took me in
when it felt
like no one
else would.
*
She saw me.
She knew me.
She took my call.
She bailed me out.
She went to Court with me.
*
She cried with me.
She told me her hurt.
She hurt when I suffered.
She woke me up from the night terrors.
She stayed with me when I layed in a hospital bed.
She remembered who I am before I did.
She reminded me every day of who I am by being who she is.
*******************
Separate, yet equally:
Connected,
Chosen
and
Child-like.
*********************
Whoever taught you
To walk in straight
Lines?
*
Who stopped
You from
dancing?
*
Who told you
You’re voice
Wasn’t
Worth
A
Song?
*
Who said not to pick up
Bird feathers
And write?
*
Who said not to
Hug trees?
*
Who stopped
You from
Mucking
In the
Mud?
***********
Why did you stop
Feeling what
Others
Felt?
*
Is there an art to
The possibility
That you
Will
Return
To your
Child-like
Self at any age?
****************
She is there, too.
With you.
****************
She will remind you
Again and again
Of who you
Truly are.
*
Trust her:
I do.
***
Trust
Every
Mistake.
*
Every
Altered
Path
And time.
*
Every
dumb
Date.
*
Every
Odd
Pair.
*****
She
Inspires
Everyone
And no
One
(me)
****
She is
The artist
In my life.
