Spring Equinox
I died
I found the desire
to be lovingly touched
to not fear asking
for the love I need
after
after playing and crying
after dancing with the child
I never allowed myself
to be
She entered my womb
and made
spinning
tornadic
emergence.
Walking with Elijah
It was so cold out but we
put on our coats and went
out the door. Ready to move
he walked far ahead
and I shouted, Wait!
I put on my music
and walked to the beat
I caught up.
He took my hand
His was cold but he
was so happy to be
walking with me
His joy bled deep
into my soul and
I wanted to sing
I wanted to dance
What defines him is
that beautiful ability
to revel in simple pleasure
to walk along
just happy to be
I realized
we can have
these perfect moments often
every day if we remember
to greet the world with
simple joy
