You/Me ♾️

My hands are on my body 

Wrapping me in a love spell 

Silky soft with hard edges 

Like the light falling on my closed lids

As if it’s coming through clear deep water

The music is a breathing creature

All around me purring holding me up

The past watches me with awe

She says wow look at you 

You really made it you’re really here 

And silently we all say thank you 

Thank you 

Thank you and I’m glad it happened

I’m grateful it all happened 

Just as it did 

And I’d do it again to come here 

To this moment of sweetness

Which I could not savor without the contrast

Of all that pain all that breaking open

That’s when I hear your voice in my ear

Asking if I’m starting to cry 

And I turn to smile and show you my tears and there it is

It’s me again, in your eyes, where I often see it

And I watch you see it too 

The you in me 

And your hands are on my body

Wrapping me in a love spell 

Silky soft with hard edges 

Like the memory that turns over in my mind

River pebbles glittering saying

Remember there is nothing that you need to be
