there is something
in your stare
that is unnerving
intense
yet not
frightening or scary

determination
rests in your eyes
seeing
what others miss

un-distracted
by motion
by sound

will power unnecessary
to remain focused

your regal stance
conveys
your purpose

you roped me in
with your persuasive words
trying to tether me
to your ways

yet my bright colors
stilled filled the sky
at sunset
on sunrise

though motionless i felt
the freedom of flight

ropes & lines
could never quell
my passion
to

i pray
to the heavens
that you are resting well

your pain has dissipated
and you now drift amongst
the clouds

the stars
light the sky
and fear no longer abides
for you

of course
i miss your laughter
your happy tears
the hugs and

a journey
filled
with sentimental
ease

a journey
where 1’s soul
feels free

no time
no moments
wasted
on negativities

a journey
comingling
past & future
creating now

for you & i
and
