As powerful as words can be,

there are some moments,

some feelings,

When just trying to define them-

To tether them to the words that can be so powerful-

You may stand up on a pedestal and teach people about life if that makes you whole.

Perhaps it will make another whole to listen

You can be wise and filled with deception all the same.

Beautiful minds.

Hearts burst.

Filled up,

Slowly bled dry

Bled “safe”

Become functioning once more,

Again.

We've built the beautiful places 

through disaster and heartbreak  

and luck and romance. 

From the roots up, we've rocked the rocks,   

and moved the Earth.
