Beauty bursting into breakout dahlias
Transluscent eyes layered with a thousand questions
A wave of acknowledgement that says "I see you"
Accompanied by a smile that says "I understand"
Moments that haven't reached me, for now remaining inside
Corvidae soaring above, expressing what my thoughts refuse to put into language
Dopamine burns and flutters
Awkward pauses and stutters
Two simple words relied on when no others can be found
Rhythm and rhymes bringing me back to your gaze in my mind's eye
Messages carried by animals
And sent through invisible thought-lines
My muse keeps going back to the unexpected
After meeting one of my greatest teachers who pulled laughter from my lungs the same way a spinster would pull thread from a wheel
Maybe what we want the most isn't guaranteed
Maybe it's always just out of reach; inaccessible
