What about you

What about you
makes me want
to be enough
for you
to make you happy
to satisfy
you
your desire
your need
to be free
safe
with me
a child
perfect
Is it real?
 
What about you
drives you
to get up
each day
happy
to be alive
searching
for what?
Beauty
Adventure
A place
to fit in
It is real
Is it free?
 
What about you
makes you tick
drives me wild
not yet –
not me
you
Smart
Beautiful
Interesting
I see it
always
kindness
It is free
Is it love?
 
What about you
climbs
to where
you become
who you want
to be
reaches
for more
moves
forward
your life
means something
leaves a mark
makes you proud
happy
simple
It is love
Is it you?

Paradise

Are we still in Eden?
I see trees
apples
and a snake
But something is different
I feel
banished
so much pain
This can’t be paradise
 
Yet I feel
grass
between my toes
aware
The Great What Is
still is
The sun
keeps coming
up each day
warm
on my face
I am awake
innocent
again
but not
naive
 
Eve …
why?
You need not
answer
to me
I now see
you
an apple
a snake
a bite
Sweet?
Bitter?
No
can’t go back
 
I see you
now
for what
you are
you
here
with me
Are you happy?
Can you be?
Can I help?
I don’t know
anymore
but I see
you
there
alone
(not quite)
and I want …
 
This moment
and this
and this …
You are
a garden
lush
wild
beautiful
Let go
now
What is
is
so …
be
