wake up in motion

open eyes mean time to move

how fast night passes.

*

find new ways to name

parts of you that challenge me:

"spirit", "passion", " "strength".

*

alone with your blocks,

you discover gravity

and your own power.

*

vise around my breath

releases me when you smile,

when your eyes meet mine.

*

"it feels good to yell,"

my son patiently explains.

"it gets the mad out."

*

picking raspberries

I remember not to force

fruit before its time.
