seeing i to I

gentle,
be gentle with me.
like the sweetness you show
all new emerging life.
tenderness is required
if expansion is desired;
give me tip-toes + whispers
and cicada lullabies.

careful,
be careful with me.
watch your mind,
your words, your dreams.
nourish me with unconditional love
keep me grounded as i rise above;
give me roots so i can
shoot across the sky…

[ a little poem from me to me]
