A Good Little Girls Zine

DSCN2845

By your side,
I am a marble pillar–
powerfully patient
calm
cool
collected.

Your soothing energy
my protective vapor
that I carry every where I go.

I surf the waves that try to pull me to the ocean floor–
you are my surfboard.

Your silent humor smoothes the sharp edges of life.
It’s hard to see it up close,
not until we part, do I see your celestial capacities,
the exact ones that compliment mine.

you
me
Us
We:
Two pillars, fingers entwined–
a bridge of colorful laugher; a union of fierce force!
