love at the holidays

there are evenings i am startled into sleep. others, i stir, watching slowly, reluctantly, as the morning turns over in the sky. the night has covered over me before i hit the alarm and begin again. i was afraid to put in words any part of your story because i knew once on paper it would have to end. i was angry that to be heartbroken i had to lose a piece of my dialogue- the way you brought the words out, our lovely exchanges etched into my skin. i was afraid so worried even in its telling i would close a door i was not ready for. but with that same expression, i will live with your love very fluidly in the person i become. where i go i will take each piece you gave me, and be the friend you knew. i will teach my first class with you there. i will laugh, cry, move from one home to another city. your life is in my love. and it will always grow. there is something new each day about bringing that light along. yes, i can even see it.

you cant kick a tails penny up to find yourself good luck.
i try to give myself an hour to get where i am going and the place i need to be

i feel a poet set sail to write of the city. to leave the place yet know it. to journey out wave by wave

the hardest thing to learn is what you want to teach. the difficulty in teaching is willingness to be taught. open heart mind of a student to ask for more.
