Day #89 of (mostly unedited) daily writing/sharing

Do You Feel it Too?

Isn't it time, way past time, really,
to rearrange the furniture, rip up the old carpet,
bang down the walls, rip the roof off
so that we can see tonight's haloed, half-moon? 

Haven't we been sealed tight inside of these boxes long enough? 

When is the last time 
you counted the stars, noticed
the shape of your own sleepy shadow?  

The rivers, the trees, the ocean 
with its unfathomable depths 
are calling—do you hear the call? 

There is a new way, everything is shouting, 
a new way that is strung with fairy lights 
of kindness, strung from my pulsing 
heart to yours, and back again. 

I have felt the call 
all of my life—
do you feel it too? 

Come, there is no door, 
look up and kiss the moon 
with me—

let's leave lipstick stains all over 
everything. Yes, I mean everything. 
It is all waiting. It's all waiting 
to be loved. There is no time to waste.

SPECIAL NOTE: I am super excited to share that I am currently working on my third book of poetry!

I would absolutely love to have a space where I can retreat for a while to give this book my full attention. If you happen to know of a writer in residence program or know of an available, peaceful retreat space, please let me know. xo
