Sometimes that perfect
Temperature finds you at
Perfect temperament
Weather
joy
Intimacy
That kind if intamacy
That builds
When you sleep in the same space
Share the same work
Learn together
The type of intimacy that builds
When you know each other
At your most vulnerable
At your most desperate
At a time when you are
Figuring it all out
That’s what I hold on to
Prayers
Prayers without words
Feeling the grief, love-relief
God always with us
Joy
Living in my joy
Radiating in my own
Smile, laughter blooming
Summer
Summer
Spending time with Friends
Who are more like family
Meeting trees that breath life
Doing some urban hiking
On bustling city streets
Knowing that those summer nights
Will see you through all of the transitions
That this season brings
Summer
I’ve written lots of poems about summer. They are never quite what I want them to be. It’s just as well, since it is such a complicated season that is often full of transitions. Last summer I treated myself to some pretty awesome trips where I got to formally meet some redwood trees and reflect on the unexpected happenings in my life that have proven interesting to say the least. Here is another poem for good measure.
Smiles that stretch across the country
Meeting laughter that boldly heals the earth
My Loves
Hops plants, bikes, and bread
Septima and poems bringing
Endless joy and delight 
Morning
Ice cold mornings of
burnt oatmeal and ice cream break-
fasting in warm beds
Day 16
Nope, never alone
their strength, love and grace breathing
Joy into my roots
