First Day of Spring

Hello, dear sun!

It's just me, no one.

Hello, dear wind.

It's just me in my skin.

Dear chickadee

You speak to me.

Chirp! chirp! chirp-chirp!

Dee! Dee! Dee!

Ok.

I never said

I was something special

I always said I wasn't anything at all.

It is you who swore

I was everything more

but now I think you regret the fall.

So turn me into whatever

you need, make me awful

in your head;

Just so that you can forgive 

yourself for wanting 

to break free, instead.

Rest Stop

Trying hard at life,

Running to catch up,

Wanting to do everything right,

and not give up. 

When you are done

and need to breathe

just bring yourself

right home to me. 

You Best Believe

I want only LOVE,

None of that negative talk.

If you said yes,

then you just NEED

to get up and w a l k.

Put your hands

over your HEARTBEAT,

Listen, because it is true.
