Into the Shadows of the Clouds – May 22, 2020

It is hard When the dark finds you And chooses Not To let you go The shadows In the clouds Are closer than you think Waiting With their wretched claws Have you ever seen them Have they touched You Melting in To who You Thought you were Reaching Scratching and biting Until there is nothing … Continue reading Into the Shadows of the Clouds – May 22, 2020

Distracted – May 8, 2020

Sitting here Again Watching the shadows Of things Dance on wood grained Palettes Merging And separating Reasoning Through questions My eyes rise To the crystal blue sky Everything exists As one Working together Connected at the hip Far fetched memories Touching Moving between While The present Beat Continues to Travel silently Around me

Presence – May 3, 2020

I want to sit by her grave soak in the sun And feel her warmth Put it’s arms around me I want to ride the wind Brushing the leaves from her name Running my fingers Down and around each letter ~~~ In my head Over and over again ~~~ I want to look over my … Continue reading Presence – May 3, 2020

Oblivious – April 30, 2020

Don’t go Don’t drift away Stay ~~~ It’s been too long Far, far too long ~~~ Would it have mattered The innocence it took The ugliness it planted ~~~ To have screen shots stuck In my head ~~~ Of the things I’ve seen Things I’ve witnessed ~~~ Long before I knew where it would end … Continue reading Oblivious – April 30, 2020

Drifting softly My seeds will disperse Look for me Scattered Amongst the grass blades And in your hair Floating Floating As the wind catches a drift Cradled On your shoulder You are my world And the world Goes on But I’ll hold you dearly As you blow me gently

Divided We All Must Stand Together – April 18, 2020

Twirl your finger Up, up and away Flicking it over here Or maybe over there Back and forth This then that You can't be wrong When you're always right Speak out Both sides of your mouth Listen to me Listen to them Enough. Lower your voice With a finger Pointing trite-ly in your face Shouting … Continue reading Divided We All Must Stand Together – April 18, 2020

Those Who Surround Us – August 13, 2019

Underneath it all There is a simplicity to me You’ve forgotten. ~~~ Lost somewhere In the wrappings of time. Love, sweet love. ~~~ Conversations stirred, Thought about, And payed attention to. ~~~ An outward feeling, projected in Which rests solely in the hands of those We choose to surround ourselves with
