One step closer

growing pains like lightening bolts stinging the guts — untangling knots that resist their undoing

signals the metamorphosis afoot — to restart a stubborn, restless heart

shiver and shake — walking a tight rope in between great expectations and risking it all

don’t look down — look up, don’t look back — just keep going

smell the magic in the air, inhale the scent of light — like the helium in a bouquet of balloons, and rise a little higher, then a little higher still

you’re one step closer to the moon — not a step too soon

moon walking — wrapped in endless space, with a head full of stars and a pocket full of grace

feel alive everyday, be tender with you

living is made this way, life adores you

broken open, light beams spill in between your rib cage — blooming your flowers

you are in season, bleeding water — pour yourself back in and witness the osmosis

in cahoots with the Universe, you came here for love
