My Discovery

image

So, appearing simple,
And fated months before,
I, fearless cragswoman,
Listened to my inner voice.
Knowing when I entered,
Hessie’s Trailhead,
I’d consider life’s possibilities,
Determine my future goals,
Pass through time’s memories.
Not realizing I’d feel your essence,
Beneath a canopy of discovery,
I’ve held back, cowardly,
Yet to fully disclose, findings.
Now, if I don’t take you inside,
I fear, I’ll lose you,
To the calls of regret,
Maybe, to fear.

Sisterhood

image

Sisterhood,
Together we are one.
I cannot deny your essence,
Nor could I ever measure beside,
But, just so we become verily clear,
Your existence now surrounding him:
Champion of versed rooted strength,
Provides my journey’s refinement.
I am you
You am I
Leaning into the remedy of his skin,
My eyes upon your desire to be close,
I witness your valuable life flourishing,
Becoming tolerant of your nearness,
Understanding why we’re both here,
I begin to care for you, as well.
Your presence nourishes me,
He, is pleased.

A Walk Worth Taking

The only task I do not dread
A walk it seems
Provides a clearing, for my head
Whispers of lessons deemed important 

image

Copper tones of yesterday
Found living within my world
Glistening in enormity
My reaction, forlorn

image

Living nearby among protection
A self induced fantasy
Seemingly overtakes
Crimson delicacies, established

image

What separates them
Measured, as very little to the eye
Created for a similar purpose
A wild fortress continues to divide

***

At first glance, I let them be
Begin again, walk decisively
Nothing happens without an opening
Allow fate to draw the cause

 Turning back
Fuck that, now she’s where she belongs
