That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all…”

Acceptance is a priceless gift;
Tragic when never received…

stripping off my skin
you try to vanquish again
while I smile & starve
my pen pretends
run sweet soul into the light

there you’ll be free
of a burden you call me
shadows I write
tried to carve a legacy
yet languish as I lose what #matters

my fight for life

Trying to write a new song,
Trying to find a rhythm, that'll help me
Ooh, wanna get through it,
Hmm, keep singing the blues."

What really #matters
in a world where
nothing seems to matter
anymore?

How many times
do we have to rebuild
what we've destroyed
before we leave it alone?

What matters
is that you matter
even when
you think you don't.

What matters
are hands that hold
arms that hug
and hearts that love.

No #matter how
challenging, infuriating
or irritating my students are,
they still find a place
in my heart, which,
by the way, must by now
look like a multi-family house...

I didn't write this
I have never written
anything at all
There is only
the poem of my life
writing me

You matter
despite the pull
of nervous chatter
that reverberates
inside your shaking skull.
You may look
at every falling raindrop
looking for reasons
to kiss armageddon
but your lips
shiver
as the sky cracks,
revealing
a worth like bees

that expands
beyond dark energy.

So many years
So many loves
So many dreams
Like fallen leaves
Piled at my feet
No need to sift through
I leave them in peace
I look up at today's dreams and wonder
How many Falls before they fall?

unmoored—putting me in mind
of the sea;
niggling into
  uneven grounds,
clear air
  filling my chest—t o u c h i n g
my skin as if through me—
a zephyrean wind
  a c r o s s my eyes;

what really matters
is what's important to you
take care of yourself
this life is temporary
you gotta love others, too
