To Swim

This contract? It ends

I don't wait for men

It's now, that was then

I woke up, I win

I've learned how to swim

Amen

Significant Other

God is my partner, so please understand -

I'll never be tethered to woman or man

I won't play a part and I don't meet demands

Unless they're my own and on ground that I stand

I keep neither cuffs nor a ring on my hand

I do all I want and whatever I can

Alone is illusion - I know who I am:

Supported and courted according to plan

Sediment

Like sediment sinks

Slow down and rethink

Don't settle, but sleep

Awaken in peace

A wind will upheave

Expand and release

As ripples, you reach

Wash, rinse, and repeat

Rebuild

Weather harsh, window sill

Ants are art - do not kill

Shopping cart, poison pill

Put it down, please be still

Fall apart, wait until...

Watch us start, see our skill

Follow heart, with free will -

We are smart - we rebuild
