Her penchant for peace-making
Native American cheekbones
And the way her skin worships the sun
His bright blue eyes and tenacity
ready-for-war mindset
And the way he creates gravity
An above-average ability to cope with change
Patience for days (or maybe minutes)
A smidge of jade
Quick wit and a well-timed joke
Humor aged in barrels of oak
The ashes of bridges that have burned
Wrinkles from laughter
and lessons learned
Ample exhaustion
Attention deficit
Books with dog-eared pages
Candles lit
Adopted security from unconditional love
Easily distracted
no malice to speak of
self-sustaining and strong
even when there's nowhere to belong
never content
and never a bore
searching for 'something else'
always inviting 'more'
Made up of mistakes
and generational curses
bad decisions
ignored verses
Being me has never been glamorous
it's really been no picnic
made of pieces and parts
that never seem to fit.
