to a poet upon a piano

I am beautiful and wise, yet
I have been scorned by the world
For choosing whom I will be.

I am a lover and a thinker
Who breaks the chains of normalcy
For I will not be caged.

My sister be free!
Let your soul lead you
To a place only you can achieve

Fear not the judgments
Of those too incapable
To honor one

"Other" than thyself

You are radiant and glorious
In your love for authenticity
I see you sister, I honor you

Rise up and celebrate
for you are a warrior
in a world of conformists

You are the oasis
in the heart of the desert
not quite the same as the desert

but all the more beautiful
for your sense of self so glorious
Let the world taste your waters.

dedicated to poet on the piano, after reading your bio I simply
had to dedicate this to you for your sheer courage
I honor you, I love you, I respect you, I see you.
Blessed Be
