Allow me if I may
to reframe this junction
Let me be heard right now,
not silenced of function
immortal in life
in love with living
Artist, philo-sopher
committed to giving
Explored the edge of mystery,
Infused with culture and history
In life - absorbed good energy
in death find true synergy
mother earth
she’s keeping me
in cradled space
of harmony
secret time
not day not night
unspoken language,
dark to light
I send out love
like morse code beats
Subliminal waves
like air dried sheets
That subtle crisp
and natural scent
Of dancing leaves
through natures vent
wooden trunk
bend crooked hands
hold me as salt blue
meets sands
swim the oceans
soar the sky
I say hello
not wave goodbye
For I forever more, will be
Nothing more, nor less
than me.
Don’t put me on
a pedestal
Perfect, nice and
Oh, so dull
Remember me
for who I am
Feisty, fabulous,
funny and damn
ME, Me,
Me, Me,
ME
Who I was
IS WHO I BE
