Life with friends

If you find me frozen
fixed and staring

not sure about
the clothes i'm wearing

unsure of the way
my brain is faring

roll me over and
slap me awake

not too hard
cause I could break

and all your strength
is what I'll take

 i'll give it back
with what we make

A friendship
worth your soul

a conversation
over soup

about love and cookies
and the day
you unbroke me
The day I awoke

Today

when i last saw
yesterday's version
of myself -
checking myself out in
a faded mirror

i like today's archetype better

each day
learning,
blooming and becoming

more becoming

brighter

smarter

I hope

The way we met

it started in April
with two thumbs
lightly touching
warring for a win

two thumbs
became hands held

became husband and wife
mother and father
