Dear friend

this

too shall

pass.

And NO

it won’t

take

you,

with it.

YOU

are magic

and

stardust

and 

bubbly

on wet grass.

YOU are 

wisdom, and wonder

and strength,

and deeper

than

the

dark water

you refuse

to swim 

in.

YOU are

mine,

partly,

as I long

to be

there.

To hold

your

hand,

and to 

rage

against

the shitshow

going

down.

Dear Phoenix,

you

will rise

again.

For even

in ashes,

your 

gloriousness

profoundly

outshines

even

the most robust

beast.

Cheers to

YOU, dear

one.

For we

will look

back on these

crazy

days, and

know

that they

were the

beginnings

of your

wonder years.
