colors you keep

colors
of
what could be
but
are not.

they show
on
your face

why aren’t they?
i ask

what keeps you
from
being you?

angel

you are an angel
who crossed my path
like dreams
which always
send us the messages
we are afraid to feel

it’s time to move on
be you
believe in magic
you don’t need to stay lost
in a place you do not recognize

take my hand
and follow me
