Ink
Meaning more

Forever seeping
Deeply into

Nourishing
Deadened roots
Back to life
Blossoming an
Aborted child
Lost long ago
Dripping ink
Inviting love’s
Sweet taste
Onto my tongue

Feet First Born feet First Running the moment My feet touched down Earth underneath Calling me onward Picture from childhood Tethered down Little Ricky running Towards the unknown Running to the next Experience wanting more Not settling for Second best Knowing there is more Running no longer Content in the moment Desiring what is now…
The Warrior’s Edge The Kriya beginning A rhythmic movement Automatically kicking in My inner fire igniting The pilot light being lit Breath work Using both nostrils Pumping my heart Into fluid action Specific motions Opening up the roots Anticipating what Is to come Time flows My voice inflamed Drawn to the surface Warming up On…
