Hoping

My heart knows no other words
I just love you
And everything you are
And all that you will become
And all that you ever were
You're a living metaphor
And I'm lucky to have met you
On this planet
In this lifetime

Surf Lessons, Day 2

1. More frequent waves = more opportunities, more FUN! More expletives!
2. Coconut oil rubbed on neck beforehand totally elminated neck rash opportunities
3. Keep your shoreline target in sight
4. I like using a fatter leash just below the knee better than around ankle.
5. Longer board was way easier to get up on.
6. Got too hot using surf bonnet, but didn't get water in ears. Couldn't hear with it on though, so took it off.

Enjoying the Views

I was bigger than myself this morning
I'm activating my potential
And it's vast
Like the widest, lushest meadow
Stretching farther into the distance
Than I have ever seen a landscape go
And this love
Sweet, light, grounding, deep
Invited me there

The Joke is on Me

I've been duped by myself
My poems are sad jokes
The love that I felt
Was not yours or mine
But life's lust for life

But I'm proud to be part
Of its sexy nonsense
Why fight its nature?
I'm done with that church
And its worship of doors

In the end we succumb
By design we have needs
Best to find the like minds
And live the life you enjoy

Do what makes the heart happy
Go where life says to go
Dance more purely with your man
Let what will be truly be

Breathe Now

Everything is happening
Just the way it's supposed to
Whether I knot my stomach
Hold my breath
Or free my heart of its chains
The pieces are already set in motion
I only have control over this moment
And the energy it will carry forward
No one drives a car looking backward
It's all new terrain
I must breathe
And keep my eyes on the road

Can’t Hide the Light

He delights me and stirs me
Excites and inspires
I can't keep quiet about how I feel
Was it only a dream?
I designed it so well
After I see him
I glow for two days
I radiate love
I make men go weak
They ask me to marry
I almost say yes
Only one week
'Til I'm back in the waves
I'll toil on earth
'Til I'm near Love again

Unsettled

Living too close to chaos
For comfort
Maybe it won't all fall apart
Stop throwing bricks ahead on the path
Stack them beside you
Come up with a plan
Panic ensues when paths are not clear
Plans fall apart
Delays & bad news
But visions of love break up the fog
Glow a nice rainbow
From here to LA
Stare and absorb, feel and remember
Pain is temporary
A shadow on love
A poker for prodding
Get through it today
Maybe tomorrow will feel less heavy

Loving Out

You open me up
Like a flower
I become so sweet and moist
Playful and exuberant
Colorful and exposed
No man can resist
How does one man
Make me love the whole world?
How do you send me so far out
After bringing me so far in?
My heart dances after being with you
And everyone wants to dance along
