like the heat bubble

so humbling, loving, and kind

transforming in growth

be the blank canvas

that you stand alone out here

until you take flight

plan those garden beds

found in every little

what currents we make

this isolation

painted for you — offering

tulips melt petals

winter sun gives hints

I do feel incredibly free

the person you are

my townsend warbler

as a Bee is to flower

relax your creases

maybe all our days

reflect your being in the

that just catches light

sunflowers bow their

break free from these tangled limbs

the remnants of life

puddles of sunlight

of flight above all of it

a night reflection

gratitude sneaks up

that have tails pointing ahead

yet, still tread lightly

to connect with you

they guard their posts — stand ready

sit now before me

I keep company

to speak with the universe

through the moon’s dim light

play brings character

for you, was an act of love

to this small flower

you taught me the words

another reality

mirrors for inside

see the underneath

asymptote, vanishing point

p of finding nuts

you do amaze me

chaotic origami

ringing in my head

my road is the path

be the leaf on winter’s tree

flesh removed from earth

the weight that you lift

hints of orange and purple

play means letting go

a Fermat spiral

swiftly move with such volume

and then held my breath

the weight that you lift

for all of the abundance

announce the sunset
