~Waiting~

Do you like

the smell of lilacs
Wet

and humid
With soft

rain
Like wind chimes

Perfumed air
White and waiting

stars
Sugar purple

Airy and hopeful
Bleeds

to dark blue hearts
Amid white

lace breaths

Fanning veins

of light jade
Open up

billowing archs
Color

the hazy sky
Lulling

and perfect

Lemonade
Sweet tea

Moments

Figure out

what it is

you want to say,

then open a vein

and say it

This is

The time

to relinquish control

I guess nothing

Can last forever

The something

that matters does
Come hell or high water,

you push on me

I’m gonna push back harder

A lulling suspension

of a dream
Trying

To put togetherer

The vision

Sit on the fence

long enough,

and you’re likely to fall off
It takes a lot of courage

to grow up to become what you are

Pressure makes diamonds
Don’t chase glitter

when you need diamonds
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity

Chip away

At the egg

of life

Break open and sparkle

Become

Something else

This is the night

you drop your mask,

this is the night

you reveal

what is written
What to say

You make me feel

This way

Airy and hopeful
I feel so awake

Make me smile

Just for awhile

So it must be

the right thing

There’s a crack

in everything,

that’s how

the light gets in

The ending

is all that matters,

that’s the

whole point
