High.. Low..

Love is love 

grand, in all its' splendor

It stands alone 

magical in all its' moments..

euphoric 

manic

The highest high 

The lowest low

twist & turns that bring you to your knees 

filling your heart to the brim

wild moments within

until it overflows..

Take a shot of courage 

Give it your best 

Accept it back with grace 

be humble, be open

Forgiving & soft

Let your passion be unbridled in all things

your love be the place they rest their heart..

And it will be you who is set free..

Overcome

Overcome 

Though the depth of despair lays bare your soul

There's a beauty to your willingness to be broken 

your openness to overcome is breathtaking 

A mystery I'll always try to understand 

the warmth of your sun shines through 

thawing the icy cold 

I see the whole world in your eyes 

your struggle giving you an inner strength 

that is unexplainable 

refusing to fall

You are a vessel of hope 

Giving us strength 

teaching us all monsters want the same thing:

destruction...

never let them take over

You are more than the despondency within

You are the light that guides me home 

Animal Cry

a heart wrenching cry wail..

so visceral - I feel you cut to my core..

Just let go

What used to be doesn't count anymore..

I'll teach you how to do it new

I won't let you say goodbye 

I won't watch you give up 

You cry out silently - 

eyes begging for help..

Osee what's before you..

I will be the she who holds out her hand

The anchor who won't let go..

Hear the scream of my heart 

listen to the loudness of my animal cry for you..

I'm the beast who will fight your demons 

until your mind is no longer weary, 

Until your heart is beating on its' own 

Until your legs find the strength & courage to carry you home

Because that is what love does..

Dust in the wind..

The feel so real 

The fine powder of you covering me 

dust in the wind

nerve endings fire up with the scent.. 

familiar connective tissues back to life 

the debri of we falling back into a stable arrangement of lifelong hopes & dreams..

Yet the dusting of you never settles

as the gust blows through me 

A cold blast of wind rips through my heart 

pulling you from me 

as I clutch on to the remnants of what was..
