The Out in Plain Sight Not Invisible

It was never about grapes

when Chavez protested for migrant workers

It was never about things

when indigenous protested for sacred land

it was never about overtaking

when Malcolm X, MLK, and Rosa Parks protested

It was never about oppressing

when the poor demand proper health care and housing

It was never about changing someone

when LGBTQ ask to be seen and respected

It was never about stealing

when a worker simply wants a job to eat and feed his family

Oppression can be a regression

when we can’t see

that maybe, just maybe

someone simply wants to be seen

Crumbs are Not Love

Nature’s abundant love

We all deserve abundant love

Not the kind that binds you

The type that blinds you

Leaving emptiness and crumbs

We deserve the kind of love

That takes your breath away and breathes

The kind that gives you butterflies

The love that makes you feel seen

Love that understands and feels with you

Intoxicated not confused

Appreciated not abused

They say love hurts

but I don’t believe that is true

Crumbs Hurt

Abundant Love Heals and Grows

Endings are Beginnings

multiple open windows

A closed door

sky scrappers built from the bottom

health is the best price

when illness is ravaging

thankful for life

but only when you die a little

appreciate the light when in darkness

understand darkness can be light

yearn for a past gone for too long

and miss out on the present and future

what is it a loss?

if it was not meant to be?

sometimes endings are beginnings

multiple open windows

guide you to the open door

waiting just for you

Reciprocal Vibes

Give a seed water, a plant blooms

Give a child love, a heart soothes

Give a kind touch, a person heals

Give understanding, someone feels seen

No words necessary

Emotional erosion

Of unhealed wounds & pain

Turned into abundant love

Not a word was said
