this poem is for you
the you
whose eyes are drinking in these words
whose ears are listening to their sounds
the you
sitting present with me in this poemspace
across time and space
you matter.
so much.
I name this moment
after you
you
the only you
there is no other you
no one else could sing your song
dance your rhythms
shine your light
you are the only one who knows
what you have to give to the world
you are the only one
who can be
what we have been
waiting
needing
you to be
this is truth
this is your own voice
do you recognize it
do you remember your sound?
listen
for a moment
can you find your beat?
this poem is for you
it is the root of every poem
the poem of every poem
this Love is for you
it began before there was time
it is the song of the stars
the dust from which you came
