wash

Leianna 

the soft wind that blows

around and around inside your violent mind

with sweetness and sorrow

and laughter and cries 

there’s a certain magic to the open wound.

when you let people understand you 

in the same way you wish to understand

every piece of someone else.

there’s a new type of energy that comes

with the realization that life can be

absolutely anything we want.

It shows in the way we laugh, it shows in the way we run.

It shows in the way we live.

thank you for being there, and thank you for being here.
