Shining Moon DIETY

SM, did I ever tell you just how fascinated I used to be with that epic specimen they refer to as planet Neptune?  I, no lie studied her immense beauty from afar for decades. I did everything in my power to breathe calmly through sending her my heart packaged as neatly as I could. I sent potted plants, poetry, framed pictures of me flexing my glutes.. the list goes on. I did my best to read nonverbal signs. I spent years orbiting her graces. Yet never felt safe entering her ozone layer. I could only ever imagine barbed wire surrounding her down room. SCARY, I know!

I chucked letters in glass bottles out my window passing by, daily. I swear, I TRIED!  To remain sane, I invested my time in the gym. Who knows, maybe I hoped she would find a way to calculate my eta and get there first.  Seeing my skies blink erratically nowadays, I do record the cadence. Who knows it could be her trying to reach me though Morse code or slanted lights twinkling in my eyes!  That’s kind of why I enjoy being around you. There’s no guessing. No assuming. None of the mixed signals. We have similar goals. We both rock IM ABLE hoodies. We leave the rest of the class on their @sses, point up like MJ and take off!  You tell me when my form is off and that’s anticipated!

Those new bicep curls WE B DOIN’ in class with the differing grips are now part of my morning routine. Today was a good one. Sit up, coffee, shower, LIFT.. draft this letter.. I feel like the GOAT.  Let’s call THIS HOPE!
