The most honest thing I can tell you is that my lonely looks like the shape of a question mark; I do not know if it’s because I’m still searching for you, or if I’m still waiting to find myself. #mooshlee #nature #naturelovers #sunset #dusk #sky #love #loneliness #searchingforlove #findingyourself #poetry

On mornings you don’t want to get out of bed... Smile. Not for the world, not because you have to fake facade your way back into existence. Not because you owe anyone a prettier version of you...smile for you. Smile as a reminder that this too shall pass, that good things will come your way eventually. Smile to remind the devil on your shoulder about the chorus of angels triumphantly singing you blessings on the other side. Smile because your lips need to stretch too, don’t want to become lazy potatoes on the couch of your mouth. The best way to practice empathy is by lifting your own heavy heart up. If the cosmos didn’t believe in you, it wouldn’t be cheering you on right now. Pounding your chest with its barbaric yawp at this very moment in time. #mooshlee #smile #thistooshallpass #goodthingswillcome #stayblessed #goodvibes #believeinyourself #poetry

Too often I am reminded that life is as delicate as a flower; petals too easily plucked from their stem. The thing about flowers is is that it’s too easy to get lost in their beauty. We forget that autumn always comes, that nothing lasts forever. I didn’t even see this coming, never saw the wilt start its curl behind your eyes. I just kept plucking the “love me” and “love me nots” from the garden in your spine. How beautiful you were when you were in full bloom, my friend. I was always so busy getting lost in your beauty that I wasn’t prepared to endure the fall. #mooshlee #nature #naturelovers #flowers #petal #delicate #lifeisshort #rip #missyou #poetry

We've all had those moments - the ones we replay over and over again, wishing we could get a do over. But growing is knowing that despite the lightning strikes, your splintered body will still find a way to stand upright. That the moments flashing by every second are reminders that dark skies will always give way to the sun’s rise, and that darkness is really just a blank canvas, making as much room as possible for all that light that you have inside of you to shine. The process of perfection isn’t possible without falter. Isn’t possible without learning to undress your shame and loving its raw, naked beauty for all of its disproportions. Being human isn’t about always having the right answers. It’s about unabashedly fucking things up, and learning to get it right the next time around. #mooshlee #nature #naturelovers #tree #sunrise #morning #mistakes #noregrets #goodvibes #inspiration #noonesperfect #humans #growth #learnfromyourmistakes #poetry

There are walls everywhere. Some are more easily broken than others. You cannot Kool-Aid Man your way through every single one, some need to be removed one brick at a time. Kindness and people are the same as mortar and stone in this way. Sometimes we just need to pause, remember that fear is like concrete, forms cement around our hearts in order to protect anymore hurt from getting in. And the builder will never want to watch a wrecking ball welcome, no matter how badly those walls are begging to come down. Every piece they put in place is precious no matter how cracked it may seem. Humans are the same as cities in this way. Works in progress just waiting to be torn down. Rebuilt. Upholstered and upcycled. You can trade us in for something new as long as you leave behind a monument to remember us by. Let the bulldozer come. Let the walls turn back to flesh. Do not be afraid to whisper the sweet music of Jericho into your construct and watch your concrete tumble. Then even when we eventually crumble to stardust, we'll still be left with a big, resounding *breath. #mooshlee #poetry #bekind #love #prayforvegas #prayforpuertorico

Life is nothing but meandering, wandering aimlessly through sun falls and hourglass waiting rooms. The only meaning to find is whatever you decide to create - your passions, the person you are, the people you meet. Your story will have footprints all over the margins, just as you will dance among the punctuations of someone else's. If you're lucky, you will find footprints that are headed in the same direction as yours. I always love it whenever you stroll by. Thank you for walking with me. #mooshlee #nature #naturelovers #beach #sand #goodvibes #footprints #friendships #walkingtogether #poetry

Sometimes, I want to love you more than the metaphors or hyperboles in my poetry. It's just that so far, no language has invented a word to describe this yet; this tidal wave of happiness that splashes me with every single fond memory I've ever tucked away for safe keeping whenever I'm with you. Some people might try and describe you as perfect, or this as love. But we both know that neither of those things are true. And that I may never find a word to describe you. But I will keep trying. All the while laughing as we splash around together in the surf. #mooshlee #nature #naturelovers #beach #ocean #waves #sunset #samtamonica #love #wordsearch #goodvibes #poetry

No matter how long it's been, seeing you is always like finding my way out of the darkness. It's as if my soul remembers what it looks like naked; a bare skinned beauty who can't help but giddily giggle at the gaggle of galaxies made flesh. #mooshlee #tunnel #subway #sun #sunshine #letthesunshinein #youlightupmylife #love #soulmate #poetry

I may grow bountifully, have supple curves meant for tongue and for cheek. But don't be fooled by the soft caress of my skin, darling. My sweet can easily bitter in the mouth of someone rotten. Unlike Snow White, think before you sink your teeth into me. My bark is far worse than your bite. #mooshlee #nature #naturelovers #tree #fruit #apple #snowwhite #poetry

Even though things don't bloom all year long, it doesn't mean you shouldn't grow with the ferocious ambition. Just because I knew we weren't forever, doesn't mean that holding you wasn't a risk; it was the bravest thing I've ever done. #mooshlee #writing #nature #naturelovers #hippielove #flowers #petals #bloom #spring #love #goodvibes #imbackbitches #poetry

I often wake up wishing I was the sky; boundless and vast, with enough room to sprawl myself across the mattress of clouds. I want to have enough space to let things soar effortlessly, free and untamed, never having to quiet the drum of my heart. I could shout love songs into rain drops, leave kisses in sunbeams, sparkle with every star I could muster. I would be beautiful even when I cried. But I too often keep myself grounded. Limited to what I know instead of exploring what could be. I am constantly afraid that my existence will only ever be as big as my body. Only remembered for the scars etched across my flawed landscape. Only ever dreaming about what it's like to taste infinity. But the sky...the sky never asks what it's capable of. It exists only knowing that it's possibilities are endless. #mooshlee #nature #naturelovers #sky #clouds #theskysthelimit #boundless #goodvibes #poetry
