when large-life happens
I long for
paper and pen

but sometimes
I have to write
poems on my heart

last night
was one
of those times

in the dark of
the concert hall
the poems came

most were not
in words
quite yet

more in amorphous shapes
nebulous impressions
newly emerging thoughts

but some came
fully formed
in crisp, clear words

speaking to my heart
of brokenness and longing
of searching and being seen

of mending
healing
transforming

and as the words
of poets came
I also wrote my own
