Heart Warming
Heart Breaking
Holy and Love Making
Celebrations
Infestations
Miraculous with Incantations
Hope Filled
Heart Chilled
Wondrous then Joy Killed
Dancing with Sorrows
Into Mystified tomorrows
Futures Unfolding
History Beholding
Refuge and Solace
Road Weary, Solstice
Living with Boldness
In Quiet Remoteness
Death and Destruction
Wonder and Unction
Redemption and Function
Lives in Reduction
Wishing for Death
But Choosing for Life
Living into Wonder
In a Universe of Strife
Acting with Kindness
Beautiful and Bright
Miraculous Moments
Together in Life
Choosing to BE this Welcoming Way
In THIS Place, I choose to stay.
This poem dedicated with greatest love, to Adriel Denae, Cory and Rhodes Chisel, Stu Heiss and Jacob Simon Heiss
