Bolivian Marching Powder

Running fast,
the most beautiful of 
bullets.
Sarcastic 
but always classy.
The lights are up now,
 I bid you adieu'.
Thanks for the memories and the ever present inspiration,
seeing so much love 
It is for you.
Nothing hurts now 
but our hearts,
but like the brilliant,
 flash of energy you were,
 you never quit looking out for me ,
 nor I for you.
As this was our dynamic-
I wanted to keep you in one place 
for a long moment
and like so many others, 
to harness a little of that spirit.
It was an amazing run babe.
For me you will never grow old.
XO

My Cheerleader Left For Good Today

I heard your encouragement so many times,
 worded ten million 
different ways
 that I forgot to listen for it anymore. 
Your love never came lightly,
 never with levity but rather cast echoes when it left the horizon.
Sometimes it hurt on purpose, 
Just so you knew how severely you could affect.
 You forgot to listen too.
I have been brave enough to hold the gaze of a barrel 
that had a recent, accurate and deadly history. 
I scheduled having my first child completely alone.
I am not brave without you. 
You have had more purpose than you ever realized.
 I wish I could tell you all about it today.
 You would tell me to hold my head high. 
Wouldn't you?
Your tall tales were magical to me. 
I was silly to always believe you. 
You needed someone to resound what you wished to be true.
 To make it all sound less tragic.
Bye momma
