Happy Anniversary

This is a celebration,

Of carefully weaving,
every intricate part of me,
Weighing pieces,
Discarding,
Then putting them together with love.
This is a celebration of all of me.

This is a witness,
Of all the unfurling beauty
That lies ahead
And what has been
Screaming out my name
Beckoning me to lose my breath.
Show up, let the world be a witness
That I was here,
That I was alive. 

This is a declaration,
When I said I couldn't live without you,
It was true.
I didn't live.
I thrived. 
I woke up.
Unafraid. Unapologetic.

Thank you for letting me slip through your hands.
Darling, it was meant to be this glorious.

Call me love

I'm throwing up my hands.  I don't want this war Don't let me leave Stop.  I'm throwing up my hands.  Waving the White Flag ...
