Made of Motion (A Poem)

it amazes me that we are made of tiny atoms, 
woven further into molecules & cells
the cocktail that creates life
the energy that
makes you

you put your energy towards movement,
sowing fruition 
into the world,
and you’re sure of your footing, while
i stagnate, 
you move.

and sometimes i act like i have nothing
but when you have nothing 
you make something

i beg to be pressed 
with purpose
but you don’t need 
a path well-defined

in you is wit
understated, sublime

your personality test will say ‘onward’
when they poll who you are
onward you steer, you push, you create– 
a bridge from your psyche, 
transforming into
something real
something concrete

when you laid next to me 
on that overcast day,
the rain pooled under the glass
while i was busy
exploring your strength

your eyes, 
wise whispers
your body warm,
your gentleness humming 
from crescent to full moon

& in me, in fervor
it was safety i felt
your tan skin 
steeped in sweetness,
you are home 
in my head
