love letters thru the long night flights

feeling nourished, 

by the foods you made 

last night , and other nights 

before. 

feeling you here with me, 

as i journey deep with 

under/water, under/world wings. 

thank you, 

for giving me the gift 

of remembering, you 

and your endurable 

support in these times 

when my body is heavy, 

and my eyes flood years, 

of tears. 

i love you,

through the dark forests 

and all, 

through the times that come as an ancient wander, 

through years of flames, as we sit 

on fire spirals at our center, 

transmuting alchemical potions 

of war into peace, 

hate into love, 

trauma into freedom. 

forgiveness and apology flow through me, flow through you, through the rivers, flows back to me, and we both end up reaching a home-place of "i'm sorry. i love you." heart, welcoming, warm water-Sun love. 

i love you, 

and i know you love me too. 

and i am so grateful, so grateful. 

prayers of nourishment to you, now

in body, mind, and spirit. 

with enduring love and the scent of a pine-singing self-forgiveness song,
