haikus & freeform, pt I

one thing that always
grows is my love for my friends
it will be that way

Forever.

Changed over the years-

The dudes that have came
and left while I remain on
the couch observing
=
none of us know why
we’re here or what we’re doing
so embrace it all!

life is short, unknown
change is rough but proves itself
again and again…

…to be good! it’s great
usually, change evokes loss
like change means losing

your job, or a lover
or your friends, or dreams deferred
but loss is good too

because when i feel,
when i realize that the ebb
and flow of my life

gave me another
perfectly frozen moment in time
how could i get here,

without change? fuck yeah!
the consistency of change
is the only thing

that will never change.
change doesn’t have to be loss
it can be growth, roots

roots that grow deeper,
more complex, solidified
some people will always

hold it down. stay present
change can look like connections
getting stronger, trust.
=
Unconditional
love will be a mystery
until it is felt

no, even when felt
can still be misunderstood
feeling undeserving?

new feeling? not earned?
do you feel safe? if yes, breathe
kick your feet up cub

it’s always there for you
to ignore, accept, or explore
quiet calm, love strong

Until it is shown
consistently, over time
through hell and heaven

you have the power
to set a higher standard
or just be the same,

be the same as the
crowd of fair-weather friends
and conditional lovers

This is my practice
This is what I am about
And it will continue

Forever.
