Two broken pieces • Formed by fire; tested through time • Love: grounded in truth

Love: grounded in youth • Coated in gold; laced with lies • Gutted by harsh truth

Strength of a boulder • Elbow grease; now, power through • Can I lean on you?

Physical symbol • Love and care echoed through time • Spoken with no words

Reach out for support. • But, what does that really mean? • What is it I need?

Rising from the ditch •Firmly planting on the path •Won’t you come with me

Where’s the well-worn path? •Can someone else do the work? •Wait. It’s all on me?

Stop the spinning wheel? • My life is a standing desk • What the heck is rest?

Pure love wrapped in fur • Docile, eager, clumsy, sweet • Our odd little guy

Grief: old and new pain • Pain: the consequence of love • Love, which ends in grief

We are all unique • Different strokes and different folks • Does this include me?

Trust without question • There will never be enough • I will protect you

Let’s stay here, always • Wrapped in the safety of now • Never facing fear

Give me the good stuff. • Never as good as the last. • Let it never end.

Use it. Replace it. • Put it back where it belongs. • Order from chaos.

How long has it been? • Finally hitting my stride. • On to the next thing.

Tight squeeze on my heart •As hands touch what isn’t theirs. •You’re okay. There’s more.

Eyes closed. Body still. • Deep breath. Calm mind. Focus in. • What the hell is that?!

Too much. Can’t handle. • Distract. Detach. Free your mind. • Avoid at all cost.

Do your job. Don’t suck. • Miss your mark. Image shattered. • Can’t be undone. Grace.
