Moving water cleanse
Each ripple an old story
Tales replenishing
Thank you for the Shel-
Ter of the clouds, shielding us
From our reigns of harm

She is filled with they’s
Them, he and her while you and I
Watch and love their sprouts

Taking a moment
Not to worry, to rest and
Just be with myself

Sunflower power
Growing tall, blooming wide- fierce
Beauty-you go plant!

Part 1
Trying to live a
Softer life, speaking gentle
erasing trauma
Part II
Holding close my love
Of soothing hurt with flowers
Blooming healing balm
Part III
So that they may know
An innocence, a freedom
To pass on instead
Part IV
Although we do not
Forget, we set them free of
The bonds of that pain

Physical memories
Have us walking paths
Without thinking
Following our senses
Giving way to the journey
Knowing we can trust
Our past selves as the guide
Leading us to where we need to be
Physical memories be magical like that

Our bodies know what
We have forgotten, how to
Take care of us-trust

Beauty, I admit
I used to be afraid of
Naming you-no more
When those we love hurt
There’s a different kind of grief
Hold them close hearts hug
