Day 30

you will always
be safe with me
to unload your heart
on a sea of tears
or to rage
in the last few hours of the day
to laugh through the veil
to question and share
moments of doubt
of fear
of uncertainty
of relief
of joy
of quiet stillness

you will always be safe
with me
because I love you
without condition
or restriction
I love you
like the sea loves the shore
like the cloud loves the sky
like the tree loves the forest
like the stone loves the river
like the bird loves the wind

You will always
be safe
with me
to just be you.

always

Day 29

I lost three days
like pennies
falling out of my pocket
I have no idea
where they have gone
If I wore proper glasses
I could look
in the folds for them
under the cushions
in the corners
turn the living room
upside down
but they are gone
leaving my heart heavy
and head bewildered

Day 28

spring drips cherry blossoms
through branches kissed by morning
in the light I’m free

Day 27

waves move to the shore
find me in tiny pieces
like sand in the wind

Day 26

fragile
like dried clay
crushed against itself
for years
I breathe
through
until daylight
shines
like I do

Day 25

heavy rain and bird song
another spring morning
outside the window
another day waiting to unfold
from the quiet pause
breathing I try to keep
thoughts from intruding
from creating ripples
even for just a moment
before I leave through
the front door
