How do you know if it’s poetry?
Does it sing?
When you taste-touch the words
with your mouth,
with your heart,
does it feel sacred?
For an eternal moment,
is it everything?
How do you know if it’s love?
Does it soar?
When you give-hold int… ift.tt/2uzTrN2
And of All the Odds:
A hundred billion counted galaxies in this dark heaven
and in each a hundred thousand million stars.
and of the fourteen billion years of forming till now from then,
some how this shared moment is where we are.

And of all the odds, this single collapsed chance of a multiverse’s multiplicitous will,
infinitely diverged by each observance of light,
of all possible realities that were and was and wasn’t and is and could be still,
here we both stand, under the exac… ift.tt/2plJOvV
And even more miraculous than this most happy of happenstances,
is that we are the very same star stuff as dreams are made of,
so regardless of if it a deterministic fate or one formed by choice and chances,
know that your very sinew is sewn from the sa… ift.tt/2HCIfAV

Today on #InternationalWomensDay—and every day—we must commit to building a country and world where all women are safe, have equal opportunity and the social, racial and economic justice they deserve. We will not go backward on women's rights. We will move forward.

Our economy won't succeed unless we have the best educated workforce in the world. That won't happen if teachers are underpaid and disrespected. Congratulations to the teachers of West Virginia who are standing up for their students, for workers' rights and for a better future.

Let's make a deal DO NOT come to Florida for spring break unless gun legislation is passed. These politions won't listen to us so maybe the'll listen to the billion dollar tourism industry in FL. #neveragain

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.
The Lighthouse Keeper’s Prayer:

Though the shore you cannot see,
and the storms may dash all hopes,
and waves crash o’r the bulwark,
my love, hold fast to the ropes.

Listen not to the jealous gulls,
who’s avarice drives them to you,
they only want what’s in your hull,
for with your capsize, they’d accrue.
Look instead to the horizon
where your journey’s end awaits thee,
a bright light cuts through dark rising,

For on the great cliffs of warm memories
this lighthouse does still boldly shine and stand
brightest beacon, as love can tender be,
to see you safely back home on dry land.
So Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Buddha, please,
bless the true course of my love’s so… ift.tt/2BJk6cv
A Twilight Spell
I.
In dusk I sometimes find peace.
In that fleeting mystical space.
Between the golden hour and black.
Where twilight creeps in and the trees glow.
Where I surrender to your favorite shade of purple.
Where I feel the remembrance of what… ift.tt/2nSUGjO

Here as the sky cries,
“FIRE!! HELP! THE WORLD IS ON FIRE!!”
I look up and laugh at such beautiful breaking.
Earth turns her face from the Sun and sinks into her night
She must away to her mistress Moon, everybody sees the moon.

This parting song of day is how we know.
Magic is present here, if you allow it.
I see it here. I see it in all transitions.
Here, for an infinite second, both day and night kiss.
Then the spell has been cast and one gives way to another.

10,000 Sonnets: Alors Vais-Je, Mon Amour... Frozen here are our hopes to be wintered.
For some, booze or soup as salve will suffice.
But creature comforts can’t mend hearts splintered,

An elm may dance naked love’s elegy.
My love’s not so deciduous and lean
as to drop all leaves at first freeze. You see

Through this dark solstice gloom the sun still shone
on two truths I had almost forgotten,
Some songbirds for the south haven’t yet flown
and their sweet love songs are never rotten.
And if light, words, trees or birds can adjure,
true love will wait. A… ift.tt/2nFFAPn
