As you turn a year older
i wish you better peace
good peace
and
more self-love
abundant serenity - seen and unseen
though the tempest
may yield no respite
- i hope it does -
even though the boat sails
in angry hungry thirsty waters
- i hope calmness is reclaimed -
and if not
may you find unexpected oars in things
and
places
and
humans
and
moments
and
more than just survive
may you thrive
and prosper
in things
seen and unseen
things felt
unfelt.
Happy Birthday!
