Flush – April 11, 2022

I want you to hear me You are amazing I didn’t even know it When you landed in my lap I was and am the broken one But a single person can only contain so much And I live in constant fear You are going to notice To realize Truly I am no better Than … Continue reading Flush – April 11, 2022 →

Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24

Dedication page: Many Greetings, Many Faces For the past year-ish, I have been sharing very sparingly what I write because, well to be honest, I think it’s crap. I am not being honest with myself, and I feel it in every word that I force out on the paper. I have recoiled a bit into … Continue reading Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24 →

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 →

Stripped Down – January 19, 2023

Let it Go Off on a Breeze – January 5, 2023

The hush of grief Can be found in the sorrow The dichotomy Of a loneliness Everybody touches Waiting in-between moments To be recognized Remembered The little things dropping away Melting into feelings Resurfacing Where everything dances I mean absolutely everything When I start to see it… I open my eyes And Let it go off … Continue reading Let it Go Off on a Breeze – January 5, 2023 →

Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021

Traipsing Inside the inklings Of time Picked up By the wanderers Who have nothing to forgive Because forgiveness itself Seems to be letting go Or so I’ve been told Inside the glimmers of light The sun will eventually Hand over the day To the moon Seemingly scattered These dreams I’ve had A million times Wandering … Continue reading Pieces of Forgiveness – December 22, 2021 →

Talking to you…6/13/20

PARTS AND PIECES The Red Dodge I had to be four, because my mom picked me up from preschool that day. I remember the building: hot paper, glue, ink, and the bold scent of must. My classroom was in the basement of the town’s Parks and Rec center. Other than the smells, I only remember … Continue reading Talking to you…6/13/20 →
