Pants are the worst

Dancing around, soft rug under my feet
A twirl of wild hands, fingers spread
Around and around no worries or pain
I’m the moment and the movement
Hair messy, I blow it out of my eyes
Music matching the beat of my heart
Gettin my grove on
Singing gloriously off tune
Laughing to myself and out loud
Then…
Doorbell
Oh no…
Now I have to put on pants 🤣

Swallow entirety into the pink dimension
Swirls of space frosting,
Inside out bubbles and
Exposed self esteem
Sparkle scars
Pain is dripping dark chocolate down a finger
Every bite a dance move
Disco smiles erase majestic tears
Hot under all the perfect pressure
Boils pop and encounter realness
Stumble turned into a tutu sashay
Apple twirl with bluebell braids
Glitter coming out of armpits
Pineapple Jell-O shots for breath
Sing along with your own flying broom

What if you could do whatever career you wanted?
What if you had plenty of money and didn’t have to worry about what you bought at the grocery store?
What if all of your health appointments and procedures were covered?
What if you had kids, parents, partners, friends and their health and life expenses were paid for?
What if you were with someone that loved you unconditionally and you them?
What if you loved yourself unconditionally?
What if you loved everyone in your life that way and they you?
What if all of your basic needs were met?
What if you got at least one month off a year paid for so you could travel or just stay home, whatever you prefer?
What if you felt safe all the time?
What if you felt worthy and whole?
What if your days were filled with joy and not anxiety?
What if you were the person you dreamt about being but were in your living life?
What if all of this was possible?
What if…

I hear you as my eyelids softly close
The rhythm of oxygen flowing in and out
soothes me
I’ve been flipping left and right and left again
But as I hear you, I release my day
There are no more scenarios
I am only where you are

The ocean waves tango with the moon
The crest and fall of turquoise and white foam between the darkness and radiance

My favorite nighttime melody
A song on a record player that sounds familiar and new in the same moment
I would pick up the needle and play your tune over and over throughout my dreams

I soar on clouds and dash through canyons with your harmonies
There’s no place we can’t uncover

You are meditation, home and exploration
I can’t wait for where we will go tomorrow night

Foodie

Strawberry Ice cream dot on the tip of nose
Dark chocolate drip on white shirt
Short bread crumble in the corner of mouth
Ketchup smear in hair
Bagel topping in bra
Honey sticky finger tips
If I’m not wearing it, slightly covered or stained
it wasn’t impressive
Diving in to all the delicacies is the way to go
Or My way at least
Yum is Life!

It Gets Better

Always picked last for PE
Not really wanted but they were obliged
No name called just a slumped walk over to the team that had bad luck, got stuck
10 years old wearing a bra and dark pink glasses
Everything thick before it was a fad
Layers of pain upon pain
Disappointed, shy, not good enough
hidden shame with every bite, swallow and taste

Decades later
5ks, 10ks, 100 miles walked in these boots
Climbed volcanos, waterfalls and glaciers
The 30& 40 something year old me looks inside,
We did it all chubby girl
High five!
You’ve always been a beautiful badass,
You just don’t know it, but I do

We don’t hear those vicious whispers anymore, we told them to f**k off and when that didn’t work we blew them endless kisses

We can do anything, we do and
we will continue to do
We got this this thing called life and we’re living it

Color of Sense

Smells purple out today
While the turquoise sky flirts with me
Her fluffy cream colored clouds winking back and forth covering the sun
I’m feeling quite orange today
It’s fantastic!
Free, warm, no cares in the world
Tasting the pinkness of life
It swishes back and forth against my teeth
I turn around hearing green all around
So pleasant and welcoming
Enjoying the day, just as she is

Melting

Closed lids
Hushed voices
Breathing in and out
The steam flows from us and
touches one another
I grab your hand
We dance in the cold moonlight
Luna touches us with her golden streams
Rain kisses turn to snowflakes
Your nose catches one, it melts before I can touch it
Let’s stay out just a little longer
Teeth chattering but
The fire place will feel so much warmer on our pink cheeks
Hot cocoa even more tasty as we swallow it in giant gulps
my earth eyes wink at you and we giggle,
still holding hands

As today is one month before what would have been my mom’s 68th birthday I thought I’d share this one again🥰

The Reading

Purple velvet bag, sliver moon Imprinted
My Pisces mom, You were alway drawn to mother moon, goddess
You take out the silver scarf, cards wrapped inside
Hand me the bundle, I unwind the Fabric,
tarot cards rest in my 8 year old hands
Excitement and nervousness
I don’t want to get a bad card
Your dark brown eyes and smile reassure me there are no bad cards
I’m not convinced
I take a deep breath, swallow and start shuffling
You remind me to ask the cards a question
Oh! What to ask?!?
I settle on something and hand them back to you
The silver is stretched out over the bed
You place one card down, explain the significance
I take in what I can
I always love getting the High Priestess
We continue until there are nine
My favorite number
I breath a sigh of relief, no scary devil card or the one with all the swords in her back
Phew!!
I look at all the colors, images of women, stars, wands, water, earth fire and air
A good reading
I gather them up, place them with the others and hand them back to her
How did she gain so much knowledge, only 29,
I never realized how young she was
Gave birth to me at 21
Telling me my fate
My magic momma

Writer’s block
How boring
So many things to say about
time, space,
love, loss
Good versus evil
Life and death
Blank
Not one word
No comfort or drama
No inspiration or outrage
A blinking cursor on screen
Empty notebook
But at least
Thoughts

Moonlight chipped my candy apple red polish
I love the imperfections of being human
A bad haircut, a stubbed toe,
ugh, so irritating but also
So human
I wouldn’t change a thing about my flesh case
She sure does a fantastic job of hauling me around on all these adventures my soul craves
5’4, curvy build and big brown eyes
I guess I can be described that way
But I’m beyond that
All of us humans are
Our souls pick this time and place and I’m determined to make the most out of this
Life
I can’t wait!

Self Complacency

Begging myself to do anything except stay in this place
This rank, frigid hollow of a container, I looked around to nothing
A self made confinement, joyless and bleak
I had become complacent and still in my tragedy pond,
no ripples in any direction
I had let the indecisiveness become stale in my once soft skin
The only sound was a breath I wasn’t sure was mine
“ Is someone else here?” I asked even though I was more than aware of the answer
I was beyond irritated with this pain
I had let the words and actions of others place a rope leading to this desolation. As soon I descended the rope ripped up and away from my desperate grasp
Now my thoughts unaware of the hours or days or even decades I’ve lived here
Do I wallow a while longer?
Ugh, so bored of feeling sorrow for myself
Do I stay or do I go now?
Flip a cosmic coin
Roll a flaming die
Today is a different day
Reaching up from the shadowed place in my soul without direction
Darkness
Until there is a dusty diffusion on the tip of my ring finger
spark travels through to my palm into my arm and I feel myself coming back
Emptiness now filling with light strength
Believing before seeing
My journey begins
