Often, you will lean into me and whisper words of wisdom far beyond your years. I feel spoiled to be the recipient.
I want to run with the lions as the hair brushes my face. I want to run home. Where color is sight, words are sex, food is thought, and silence is power.
I use to write A LOT of poetry, and somewhere along the way, I stopped consistently writing. On May 1st, I set a few goals for the last 30 days in my 30s.
