Description

My feminine side is death, she tells me

Without emphasis, evenly accepting

The darkness she casts in flickering

changeling shadows

To obscure her luminous true nature.

I need someone like this to light the dark corners 

and love me continuously, she says

…But together, I see them as the sea

She is the yin to your yang, I tell her

Each crest lit from within on moonless nights

Water afire caught forever

In moments of opal.


I am caught in a riptide, she says

I feel the weight of responsibility all the time

And so I tell her what I see so well:

Your life will never be clearly defined or easy to explain

But it will be YOUR creation

It's not a path that has been trodden before

But trust your heart and your feet

You are going where you need to go.

…I see the beauty you have painted

In your own blood.

Sammy has so much strength and power… I wish life didn't lead her to turn it inward on herself. She's a glorious soul.
