Hey, you…

In case you’ve forgotten…

You are beautiful.

You are loved.

And you are not alone.

Hey, you…

In case you’ve forgotten…

You are beautiful.

You are loved.

And you are not alone.

There is something
in a piece of art
that moves,
that breathes,
that beats.
All I am trying to do
to find it,
to draw near it,
to share it,
and to set it free.

….and she blossomed into flowers,
and each flower exploded into a firework,
and each firework became a star.

(fin)

…The pursuits of wonder start with two things:
You must open your eyes
and you must open your heart.
Can you imagine?

(3/4)

…It was a time of forgetting.
For all we carried,
for all we learned,
the less we knew.
Even the most basic of things…

(2/4)

The Pursuits of Wonder (fragments)

The darkness stood.
For as long as remembering was remembering.
And as long as the briefest of moments.
Suddenly, in one small corner
and everywhere at once,
light…

(1/4)

Tonight
I am scared,
I am sad,
I am small.
Scoop me up
in your hands
and nestle me,
carry me
close to your heart
to keep me warm.
Whisper to me
that it’s going to be alright,
that I’m going to be alright.
That I’m going to be alright.

The light we have to share
may seem small,
but against the darkness
every light matters.
And if each of us shares
what little light we have
the light will grow and grow
and chase away the dark.

I wonder how many demons
of all those I’m wrestling
have been angels all along
and I just couldn’t see.
And what it is the angels
wish to tell me
if only I would listen.

#poetry

No, I cannot change the world.
But here, in this moment,
I can love you without reservation.
Though I don’t have much,
I can offer you my hand,
my shoulder, my heart,
whichever you need.
And I can stand here with you.
And maybe that could be enough.

Hey you…

Yes, you reading this right now.

Try to hold this, even if you can’t feel it, even if you don’t believe it.

Even if just for a moment, carry this with you:

You are not alone.

And you are loved.

The text of a poem, black text on a white background, that reads: Hey… if you’re out there, if you could just let me know. Because sometimes the days get really dark. And I’m really okay, but sometimes it gets really lonely. And I’ll do all I can to let you know that I’m here and I’ll do what I can for you. But sometimes I need it too. And while it’s really scary to write this and even more to share it (if I do), I think it’s important. And maybe if I say it while I’m mostly okay that might be enough to let someone else know that they can say it too, whether they are okay or not. And maybe this poem sucks, but I don’t really care because I promised I would be honest and this is all I’ve got right now.

If You’re Out There

#poetry

(Yes, I keep reposting this one…sometimes I just need some kind of connection…)

I hope this poem finds you. I hope it finds you right where you are, just as you are, and it sees you and it smiles a smile so bright and so big and so warm it reaches out and fills you with light from head to toe and you cannot help but smile back even if only the tiniest bit. I hope it finds you and reminds you wherever you are, whatever you’re going through, you are not alone, that dark as it may get there is always light, and you can always try again. I hope it finds you and it tells you over and over and over again how beautiful you are and even if you can’t feel it, you are loved.

I hope this poem finds you…

You are loved.

You are beautiful.

And you are not alone.
