As Long As You Like

I will turn you into good
you can stay as long as you like
I’ll never bite, and I’ll never ‘should’
I will turn you inside out

The moments full of grasps
sets the tone for my life
Fighting for the lasts
pondering an afterlife

They show up like comrades
without warning or knowing
energetically linked with light
helping to keep me going

The only reason for a season
is to force us back together again and again
The changing leaves, the longing tides
it’s cooler now, we must gather and not hide

I will turn you into good
you can stay as long as you like
I’ll never bite, and I’ll never ‘should’
I will turn you inside out

Say what you say for one more day
so I can rise full of love, with a pace to slay
The words lay not just in my heart
but inside and around and glazed upon my skin

Painted into light, distinguished
singing with wings, swimming with breath
bursting with bright, following the depth
I watch the stars from a fluid place

Breaking free has an illusory feeling
I am here, feet on earth, hands in sky
Chose to come, chose to be, chose to give
I am here to feed, to heal and to undo the greed

The truth takes time to find
It’s there though, way deep inside the mind
Then poof, there is no going back
She is gone and found at the same time, without any lack

Let it come, let it run
Let it be, let it go
Let it shine, let it find
Let it grow, let it flow

Through empty forests
with wisdom too far known
Through terrifyingly wide waters
deeply held and spread, always alone

It is not without resistance
we are shapeshifters with gifts
to share, to blend and to receive
I wait in line, frozen, then… proceed

Send Me an Angel

On the cusp of something miraculous
said the angel to the girl.
What if you held out your palm
and drew a line in the center, in a swirl.

Keep the line going around and around.
I am the utensil you choose to draw with,
I am your devoted one, we are always bound.
Let me tickle your hand, stay open and not stiff.

I will carry you when there’s no one left,
I will tell you what you need to hear.
I will help you shine brighter on days you are bereft.
We walk together, not alone, side by side my dear.

You may not see me, or know I am ever near.
But fret not, because you can call on me and I will appear,
in my special way to comfort, guide and soothe you.
To ease your mind, I drift in and out, you’ll never be blind.

When you walk, I am watching.
When you sing, I am dancing.
When you cry, I am understanding.
When you run, I am flying.

When we are alone in the forest or by the sea,
it is when I can see you the best, you are so clear to me.
The beauty that you are, just in your form,
makes me so happy you chose this, to be born.

Because when you came here, we came together,
and our journey has been the greatest pleasure.
I can not think or imagine a truer or more loving home
than the one we have, yours and mine, it is our own.

I have loved you and will keep loving you
under all weights, all circumstances, through all barriers.
You are my reason and why the sky is blue.
Your ocean of love reflects up so high, it even carries me through.

I am your angel and there is nothing that can separate us.
When the seasons change and the wind stops,
when the rain starts and the sun drops,
I am endless for you, promised to you, no need for any props.

We can do just fine us two you know…
And you do know, because you’ve already told me so.
In that secret little wish, under your breath that day when you quietly said,
“All I need is my angel, thank you for saving me.”

Here I am and here I stay.
There you are, I hear you pray.
Let’s love today, this one very day.
For we have each other, blessed we are, I must say.
