how I was. Yours.

Experiences shape us and when we discover the road we traverse is endless, never the end result, we remain forever changed. A malleable spirit is always ready to grow in grace and love. This is our true humanity, to be willing to forgive and move-on. Stay true and your beauty will shine! Love J💛✨

no face to glow
only memories of talk.

Come! watch me vanish.
flailing arms
reach for your celestial lights,
to evade the journey,
black holes lead
this pilgrim deeper.
do you fashion your life
to experience color?
close your eyes to dream?

quilted hues of you.
