I Am My Own – February 19, 2024

The treetops are dirty As the sun goes down The wind is gentle Through my fingers ~ Lines separating ages And ages of things Dusk is when I sing Where I disappear I come alive In the colors The calmness of the day The piles of thoughts ~ Another dimension Flirting incandescently with The times … Continue reading I Am My Own – February 19, 2024 →

~Blurry~ February 13, 2024

I was so bummed when I didn’t get this shot! The sky was clear, Orion’s Belt was perfect, and it just whisked right by me. I didn’t have the right camera, lens, or setup, but I quickly opened it on my phone to see if I had caught its essence in any form. As I … Continue reading ~Blurry~ February 13, 2024 →

Brevity – January 2, 2024

A glimpse out the glass door One leaf was up on it’s edge doing cartwheels across the frozen tundra It had a bounce to it’s step While the buttery morning light illuminated it’s glory Losing my mind in the time it took to go it’s path Laying motionless in the short winter grass Traveling with … Continue reading Brevity – January 2, 2024 →

We All Lose Something Now and Again – December 15, 2023

I’m sitting somewhere In-between Life begging at the knees But I don’t want to go Stripping me down And whispering All of these things I don’t want to go It dances and sings In a warm glow I still don’t want to go It laughs and tickles Tempting me so To go… There is too … Continue reading We All Lose Something Now and Again – December 15, 2023 →

Lines of Rain – September 6, 2023

The ground Is not full of puddles Just enough for the heat To permeate my nose God, I love that smell I can see through the leaves And the branches Holding on are turning bright red The weeping… And weeping

I am nothing. A speck of nothing floating through an infinite space of everything. Or do I have it wrong and I am everything floating through an infinite space of nothing. Depending on the tick of the universe. I am both. Nothing and everything all at once, or in moments too small to differentiate. I … Continue reading October 2, 2023 →

For those of you who know me, which here, in this space, is kind of funny to say. You know me the best, and the least at the same time. I do not claim one single religion. I believe in karma, I believe in the interconnectedness of us all, I believe that everything is just … Continue reading September 14, 2023 →

Talking to you…8/3/23

REM Sleep Photograph by BMM I was looking for things, of HERS. A closet that was shaped like my middle school. Family sitting, and moving around in the cafeteria. But, the only one I recognized or remembered was my grandma. She was eating, I yelled out, You fugly bitch! She spit her food onto the … Continue reading Talking to you…8/3/23 →

She Breathes – July 20, 2023

A bed of pillows The light lays itself to rest on each morsel of green Tempting to jump in and be swallowed by whatever Mother Earth has to give My eyes don’t lie to my heart And my heart yearns to feel the life she breathes I look and I reach I, love you
