there was a first time
the word
L O V E
was used.
ever since,
we’ve been
chasing stardust,
collecting pennies,
& polishing mirrors.
now we know
when the universe ends,
we’ll be ready for curtains
and walk offstage
holding hands.

I am the Phoenix rising
Burn myself into a cinder
I’ll be rising, ever higher
Into fire, wings igniting
Ash is falling, I am rising
Smoke and blood
Snow and ash
Water, fire
Soul and body
I am the Phoenix rising
Star to star
We’ll pay our dues
Then be reborn
And love anew
I am the Phoenix rising
In the center of existence…
In the center of existence
there is a star that shines
bright with every soul.
Its pulse bleeds music
orchestrated by
the coming together
of all hearts.
The brightest light imaginable
shines forgiveness
acceptance
love.
And across time
energies collide
beautiful imperfection.
A Year Ago… Now
A year ago,
a shared joint
between strangers.
Now,
we only share
the tired look
in our eyes.
Moon Crescents
Only good things are coming,
The wind is changing
There’s a frightened horizon
Banging on the door
The whispers leave footprints
And the moon crescents above
Tiny Buried Star
I want you all to know
I want you all to know
That I was there and saw a face
That I was there and saw a face
I came upon a little house
I came upon a little house
And well within that little house
A tiny, buried star
A star kept cradled in a bed
And deep within that burning bed
A mote of fear
A mote of love
A brightly burning life.
