I am a shorted circuit Blown out and useless Pushed beyond my capacity to function Unable to manifest an ounce of energy Burnt ozone the only proof That I blazed bright Before I met my limit And succumbed completely To my efforts to keep the lights on Forever numb -gws
I am drawn by the fire I talk to the wind I heal in sweet waters With Earth I am kin -gws
Just for today, I will be the someone who makes me happy. -gws
Voices rose in sharp keening The dry grass caught And the world began to burn Ancestors' voices whispered in their ears As they focused their rage into a reckoning -gws
Men can spread themselves like weeds in a wind storm and women must endure the consequences -gws
You said I was your rock But rocks succumb To weather and water And you are a storm -gws
It is said healing is not linear. My healing journey must be the most intense roller coaster ever constructed. -gws
Beware love spells. Beware the wanting. Beware the asking. You may get more than you bargained for. -gws
I used to write for you Now I only write about you You do not have the patience Or maybe the capacity for poetry -gws
Wonder is the deepest magical experience possible. - gws
