Poetry
Apart
They appeared
over the dunes
skimmed the trees
and hurried onto the sea
or some lonely pond
or wherever it is
they were meant to gourgent, immaculate,
the heat of their eyes
staring down
and then away,a handful of eartha handful of sky
and a heart full of moss
their power and grace
still echoing inside my own bodyon they went, their pace quickening
loving each other
as they grew apart
grew different
on each side
of the curious divideThe debris of lives scatteredas they rode into the nighthoping for new planets that woulddeliver them beyond binary.What we love, shapely and pure,is not to be held,but to be believed in.And then they vanished, into the untouchable distance.

A Life
A life well lived
is a life full of clarity
of intention
of joy that was forged
by making the hard choices
that felt true to the heart
by facing fears head on
never backing down
never choosing the path
of meaningless distractions
A life well lived
is full of joy that comes from the core
from the healing of old wounds
from radical acceptance
of the self
from self-love, the one love
that gives meaning to all
A life well lived
follows internal rhythms
honors the higher calling
deviates from the common path
faces the unknown
And creates new trails
for those to come
Go right on, way-shower
warrior of light
bask in your glory
you were not created
to shrink, to conform or to follow
you are the light
that guides the way.
