Quiet, Light, and Stars I sat today, in the quiet The sun was dappled across my body A pillow on top of my lap Rays lighting up tiny particles floating around me Two kids home from school Breakfast and back up to their respective spaces It’s quiet As the particles passed my face at the … Continue reading Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25

On the Inside 2.0 – June 23, 2024
I was challenged, I played. Here is…On the Inside (link is to original poem) version 2.0. Thoughts? On the Inside 2.0 Open the doors, the air is a little cooler. Creeping up - wrapping and wrapping Asleep…Or am…I just now awake? How long has it been? Looking backwards/Or forwards - What’s the difference? Both frowned … Continue reading On the Inside 2.0 – June 23, 2024
On the Inside – May 2, 2024
Open the doors The air is a little cooler Creeping up Wrapping and wrapping Asleep… Or am I just now awake How long has it been Looking backwards/Or forwards What’s the difference Both frowned upon One must, to understand where we’ve been And where we are going Stop floating And picking apart Each day Each … Continue reading On the Inside – May 2, 2024
Weep – January 20, 2024
This world Rolls Around my finger It taps Me on the shoulder and pushes me from behind The pull starts in my chest Beating…breathing Until Dripping and dripping and dripping All of the time.

The water moved in all sorts of ways Pooling in circles around little circles Swirling… I swam for awhile Before I drove away

The remnants of winter Linger in the cooler spring mornings With grey skies, layers of clouds Becoming lost in my own thoughts How delicate today is And tomorrow, never given ~ The days are only numbered if you count
Things Matter – April 4, 2022
The shadow of things Floating over my head Making time So fragile Every blink Something has passed So scared to miss All of these things ~ I’m missing All of these things
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

I miss those days All of them.
Devotion – February 16, 2024
It lives in my chest The pit of my stomach The corner of my eyes ~ I have always felt…alone ~ A cradle Where I wake And where I fall asleep
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
Roll Away – January 24, 2024
