up and away goes my soul
drifting endlessly
marching on beyond my means
echoing lonely beats to the stars
tearing at the seams of the atmosphere
ready for a new plight
against all odds
single and sinning
I have to find my soul
lost in freedom
surrender to the knowing
of flight
the feeling of freedom
I m not there yet
gotta grow roots
to hold on
sew the edges of soul to my
patchwork quilt so I don’t loose it again
carry it with me as I travel
cozy as I sleep
won’t dream again without it
random regal justifications
for ethereal seeming 
moments of truth that crush the heart
a smile, a touch an extra word
that really reminds you are alone on this journey
that the one crush is not yours to dream of
even though all the fireworks were there before.
never mind the load you carry is to heavy to do it alone
and too much to ask of anyone
and not just to anyone you ask
strength in character and a willingness to accept and grow
dedication to life and family with a calming demeanor
ethereal moments revived as friendships are reaffirmed
and followed, nurtured and thrive
under the most hostile of human conditions
through moments of listening and
intriguing considerations
the movement that one shares time
or responsibility
lifts a finger and helps
ease the burdens that you have seen carrying alone
for so long
so long I know what that is like
only to be discovered moments too late
being human unable to communicate
one by one the candles are lit
the flickering flame
behind the poetry
the smoke burning
as I give thanks
for the symbiotic connection my body has with my soul
that saturates the symbiosis
between us and the universe and the ground below us
I draw from the elements
around a ritual ofÂ
thankfulness in lifeÂ
I hold space for those that have passed before me
I bath in chamomile and lavenderÂ
the smell tantalizes me tongue
as does my tea
I anoint my bath with oil
and pour salt to purify me and
cleanse my body and soul
