“Birdsong brings relief
to my longing.
I am just as ecstatic as they are,
but with nothing to say!
Please, universal soul, practice
some song, or something, through me!”

“I can't say I know
the burdens you bear
the struggles you face
or the fights you have fought
in learning to love yourself
I do not have the answers
the solutions
or remedies
you may be searching for
but I do have something
and though it's just one thing
I will give you all that I can
and through my kindness
I hope you will start to see
that you alone have always been
and you alone will always be
just that,
enough.
for everyone.
for everything.”

“I am thankful
for the sunrise
and every sunset
for the safety nets
that catch my falls from grace
for the family
friends
and gentle eyed strangers
that pick me up and
place me at elevations
I have never deserved
but mostly just for you
and the soft smiles you bring
when I cannot find them
on my own.”
