When I take flight, it is eight months after a medical misdiagnosis took Dad—way too soon.

six months after family, friends stop calling return to the living uncomfortable, cannot watch, hold space for my grieving.

four months after my love left me… did your father, controlling, saboteur feel threatened by me?

Son, you’ve had your fun. But, she’s too independent. Not one to stay in the kitchen where women belong barefoot and pregnant.

I vomit after the raw explosion, purge oust shrapnel’s dark energy before penetrating my soul.

Dad, you knew he was not the one for me.

Because when I was with him, I was not me.

Love never asks you to change yourself in return for love.

Spirit rising awareness opens to inner knowing a life lesson reveals my silver lining: I am resilient

Buoyed by the rhythm of my drum I touch down rooted on love’s solid ground.

Love is a state of being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. ―Eckhart Tolle
