arise

when frustrations
arise,

don’t show your
teeth.

even an
instinct is only
an ingrown
habit.

like a
hurricane,
rage begins as a
ripple of
wind over
water.

strive to be
your highest
self––

gaze down
on your cowlick in
wonder––

with open arms
& a bare
chest,

love
hugs every
thing together.

use whatever
excess energy you
have to

meld your lover’s
heart into
your
own.

emotions
rise &
fall.

be the
sun.

perfect your
smaller
self

like a
planet

in its gravity &
light.
