I’m always writing
In my head
I’m looking
I see you
I’m remembering
Someone said
In poetry
We sometimes
Relive moments
When we write
And when we perform
But they hoped
We could be like magicians
And create these moments
Like mirrors
And distance ourselves
From the experience
So we can grow
And move On
Well
I hope you know
Your moments
Are like Polaroids
I carry with me
And they are not trauma
They are light
And I hope you know
I am growing
I am trying
I am evolving
Into something new
Something you made possible
When I write
I don’t always share
Some things
I have carried with me
Like
So many maps
And everyone was telling us
What to feel
And what to see
And I really did hope
I would have all the answers by now
But you have helped show me
The beauty of it all
Is we experience it while we are living
And we find the answers
While we are giving
So
We are here
Another year
Another day
Another shore
And
We are communicating
What we love
What we touch
What we see
I have your fingerprints
All over my heart
All over my art
And
I love
I love
I love you
