I am (no) rhyme or reason,
and I am whole, and here.
I can create endless haiku while dancing
beneath the scatter of stars, and when
I (accidentally) became a skeleton for others,
I made the empty spaces into a garden.
I perspective shift with ease, sweet talk
wildlife from afar, follow owls, float on energy
currents, laugh a lot. I read, meditate, question,
wrap myself in soft fabrics, whisper gentle words
into my ears. I learned the value of 'good enough'.
I problem solve, make plans, hold space, run
into dark fields. I've written hundreds of letters
to friends, to strangers, to strangers that became
friends. I fell in love across oceans. I birthed babies
into my own hands. I have connections that have
lasted decades and others that are new flickers.
I get called kind, but also blunt, but also sassy
and fierce and independent, and I take them all
as compliments even if not gifted that way.
I frown at people who tell me to smile,
and I smile freely at life.
I can be so overcome with awe that threads
of the universe momentarily separate before
reforming. And now, I place a flower to my
heart, light a flame, honoring the wonder
of being in this body, in this world,
at this moment in time.
