A Season of loss
Punctuated by a season of loneliness
Reminds us of
all those we hold dear
Reminds us of
all those we held dear
We reach out
Pulling closer to
Those who truly matter

Let’s start a movement
Let’s start a simple movement
Relieving the burden of proof
From those who are oppressed
Relieving the burden of proof
From those who are marginalized
Relieving the burden of proof
From cultures that have been appropriated
Let’s start a powerful movement
Relieving the burden of proof
From those who experience micro aggressions
Relieving the burden of proof
From those that experience systemic racism
Relieving the burden of proof
From those that experience discrimination and prejudice
Let’s start a movement of believing those experiences by relieving the burden of proof requirement to be heard.

Sometimes sleep play hard
To get- it be like watch
sunsets and sunrises
Fluttering de-lights
Announcing boldly, shyly
We are here as guide
Moon phase un-phased as
Natural cycles takes it
Around and back home

Her skin gold dusted
Glimmering in the sun as
She makes her way back
Refusing to let expectations
Take from me-
Vacations
Filled with poem reading and writing
A little music playing
Bike riding and friend hanging
Truth telling-
I don’t feel guilty for
Vacations not wasted
Instead gently
Washing over me and
Leaving behind me-
Retrospective looking forward
Sometimes the struggle
Be so hard, be so real that
When they get it, peace
He has important things to say
He hides behind others voices
Imitating them so well
That he has forgotten
Just how powerful
His voice is
They may have had
Crap parents
But they know about
Sibling love
The kind that
Teaches you kindness
And Goodness
The kind that always
Has a place for you
They know about that
Kind of love
That does not
Let them down
And teaches them
To love and live
A life worth
Living for
They will always know
About that kind of love
