with a stillness that cloaks his existence,

I love you.

I'm so sorry you have to endure this.

I know it brings no comfort to tell you

that this will make you stronger, if you let it. 

It probably feels like you are alone...

I wish I could tell you,

"It only seems that way for now, my dear."

I wish I could do more for you,

but we must both be patient.

We must wait for the right moment.

In the same way a Great Blue Heron

waits for the perfect opportunity to strike,

with a stillness that cloaks his existence,

so must we.

I love you, it's going to be okay.

What's wrong with me?

Why am I letting myself be swayed

by such things as this?

I love you, my dear child.

I hope this does not exacerbate

your situation,

into something worse. 

I love you.

Please be safe,

in everything you do.

I love you. 

Be a smart and critical thinker,

like I taught you to be.

Find a way to channel the energy 

that is taking over your mind and heart,

and put it into something in front of you.

A piece of art,

or a poem.

Do not destroy to create.

Only destroy bad habits, my dear.

I love you, it's going to be okay.

claircognizance

I don't know what you call this.

these feelings, this voice, these thoughts...

It has to have a name.

Intuition?

a knowing before knowing

I am finding quickly,

that I cannot explain.

There is no reason for it,

and yet I feel ashamed.

I am at the edge of something powerful,

touching the shores of some other world...

I cannot tell you how I know,

please just trust

that I do. 

Strange Being

I can feel you.

Right there, at the edge of my being. 

Intertwined with my soul..

I am beginning to think,

I'm unsure I know you. 

Who are you?

Do you feel me too?

Am I the only person here

without a clue?

Is it just me?

feeling all of these things,

so

deeply?

Am I alone in this life of

overwhelming passion and emotion? 

Or are you real?

Are you really there?

Because I feel you..

Lingering in the distance,

like smoke from a fire.

I feel your warmth like the sun,

if I close my eyes long enough 

to stop thinking.

I do not know if I know you, 

but I know so deeply

that I love you.

I cannot wait to meet you,

you are the rest of my life. 

You will change my core,

I can only hope for the better. 

Until we meet and I kiss your face,

Goodnight, my Strange Being.

an in-between, a limbo place.

I am at an in-between,

a limbo place.

Yes, here I careen,

mislaid in outer space.

No one is near enough

to see me sway.

But I guess, for now, 

I need it that way.

Lonely am I,

in this dark and motionless time.

Lonesome I stand,

with miles ahead to float and fly.

If you want me to continue to wait suspended in the dark, I will.

        Is this what it feels like?

          I feel like I'm in space,

        disconnected from my body.

  Floatin' around in search of something,

    but I forgot what I was looking for.

        What is it you want me to say

           that I have not already said?

  I cannot read your mind, my dearest.

But I can read a room..

How do we proceed?

I have no way of knowing.

Anything at all, actually.

If you actually care, if you read my poems,

if you see my messages to you..

I love you.

And I promised you,

I would come to see you

as soon as I could.

I am making strides and moving mountains,

but I am aware this is something you cannot see.

I suppose I had hoped you could feel it,

deep in your bones..

Deep in the roots that entangle your soul,

the way I felt it.

But I had started to feel the pull months ago.

Why didn't I do something?

Ha, who cares... 

What could have I even done?

You have always been the passive type-

never one to address a problem,

when you're experiencing 

discomfort.

But I promised you, I would be there.

If you want me to continue to wait

suspended in the dark,

I will.

I still love you. 

I just wish you would tell me the Truth.

But I feel it in my heart, when I see your smile.

I put you in a frame today.

I put you in a frame today,

with your love tucked inside.

I put you in a frame today

with your love tucked inside,

just behind your smile.

I put you in a frame, 

with your love tucked inside;

just behind your smile,

so I would see it every morning.

I tucked the words you shared with me,

safely behind your sweet face.

Underneath glass,

inside a wooden frame.

I love you,

and I think of you,

every single day.

I think of you sometimes every minute,

as you blend and mesh with other thoughts

in unison.

I only hope you think of me, too.

I miss you, my soul child. 

I know I will see you again,

I don't know how, or when..

But I feel it in my heart,

when I see your smile.

I know I know,

we will meet again.
