Liquid Poetry: For Andréa & Nakota
The stars have aligned, clear and radiant Behold the purpose, forever it will be Your journey as one unfolds, a rhyme so beautiful Face to face, a togetherness like no other Holding hands is not trivial, never passive A connection of love it shows, endless to eternity A flow of vitality without conditions Repeat daily without pause, with empathy Peaks and valleys, readiness to face is key Be in each other’s presence, a precious jewel Unlimited support are ties that bind Stay sound in spirit, all will be well Exercise the essence of team, not in isolation It is not you or me, what matters is us An understanding mind fosters an open mind A life in total unison, great success prevails Share tender surrender moments, a feat effortless Enjoy their gravity, cherish them all For they are momentous, of everlasting value Beloved soulmates bring balance, rarefied living Embark on the greatest path of your life The fabric has been woven and tested Be steady, stay true, stay loving An amazing pair you will always be
Momentous
Born in Saigon, Vietnam, I arrived in America at seven years old as a war refugee in 1975. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, happily married with two grown children, and reside in Colorado. A horrific injury in 2014 forever changed my life, leaving me an incomplete quadriplegic. Despite facing this unexpected journey, living in the moment remains fruitful, joyous, and appreciative. To be human is to show kindness to one another. Let go of your fears, prejudices, and desires and be alive in every waking moment to cherish the gravity of life and the gifts it has bestowed upon us. Turn and look at the person to your left, right, and all around, and project your inner being to be good to yourself and everyone. We are all born from the same fabric, so surround each other with unconditional love, support, and warmth in your hearts. Our time on Earth is precious and should be embraced with immense gratitude.
