handle with care

 
 
 

Stay soft baby
This world is trying to harden us

Stay soft baby
Find safety in your skin

Stay soft as we play with the edges of comfort
To find space to get closer

Stay soft as we dance with all our parts
And romance wholeness

I will never pick the status quo
I will always challenge that that doesn’t fit
I will always question to find truth
I will always evolve to get more intimate with my knowing

I will pick our slow days and our freedom
I will pick our home within
I will risk it all for the real thing
And, I will stay soft baby

//

May we handle each other with care.

 

the spoken word

I conceive these pieces with the beat of my heart,
then birth them with the fire of my voice.
