Act now.Don’t wait.Hesitate,And it might be too late.Isn’t this whyYou’ve been listeningTo your knowingEven when it was whispering?Charge forward.Intuition will guide.Charge forward.No reason to hide.Act with faith.Act with fire.Know your resolveWill take you higher.Sureness in step.Sureness in path.Clarity envelopes me,Like a warm bath.Strong and wiseAs the trees all around.Trust. When we trust,Blessings abound.
Sometimes I like to sit in the corner.Looking out. Not looking in.I see the people all around.Laughing. Talking. Breaking bread.For some, it’s just a slow weekend morning.For others, an occasion, it seems.The young. The old. The in-between.Couples. Families. Friends.Music plays on the radio.Paintings adorn the wall.So loud…It’s hard to hear yourself think at first.The cacophony... Continue Reading →
It’s funny how things can change in an instant. Or, rather, not funny. But, they can. How many times have I been worked up about some trivial thing, only to realize I’ve completely lost the tether? How many times do I have to learn this lesson? That health and love are all that matter? I’ve... Continue Reading →
All is white.The noise, the light.The crisp, the cold,Entrance my soul.A snowflake falls, so delicate.Flawless peace surrounding it.Does it make a soundWhen it lands just there?Nestling so gently,Without a care?Perhaps if it does,It’s the sound of still.Faint, and so tender,Yet charged with will.The trees are idle. The moon is nigh.Cherishing calm as I look to... Continue Reading →
Searching and open,And I found hard.A wall. Doors were closing.With no regard.Dissonance loud.Screaming in my ears.Can’t look it head onThrough all my fears.My intuition. My knowing.Thought I’d welcomed open armed.But I must have blocked it,Foreboding harm.Pushed it down so deep inside,From even a seeking mind to hide.I only sensed a specter there…And, it vanished, as...

I love the crisp air on my face.The remnant smell of fireplace.The way the sun peeks out in flame.As the promise of dawn whispers my name.Out of bed before first light.Friendly darkness gently ending night.The way the glorious leaves, ever few,Crinkle and crunch beneath my shoe.Scarves and jackets, mittens and coats.On autumn mornings, my spirit...

What happens to the dreams and callings we let lapse?The ones we walk away from?What do they do once we’ve turned our backs?Do they go on and live in someone else’s mind?Or do they pause,And wait…For you to, maybe, rewind?These streets, so familiar.Yet so foreign too.Like a dream I intuitively know…But can’t quite put my...

There she is. There, all the things.Braided up into one unique soul.Mermaid. Poet. Lioness.The parts, ever less than the whole.Part practical, pragmatic,Analytical, enmeshed in detail.Part manic pixie dream girl,Spirit longing to set sail.One thing she’s not is your foil,It’s her story she writes as she goes.Where her hero’s journey will take her,It is she, alone,...

“My people are the misfits,The ones that don’t fit in.”-Third Eye Blind, Misfits For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a misfit. I’ve always felt my square edges as I’ve navigated and endless series of round holes. I was blessed (or maybe cursed) with a kind of passing. Presenting, in most contexts, as... Continue Reading →
Sometimes when I’ve been up all night,The morning moon meets me at first light.She stuck around as if to say,“Appreciate this glorious day.”Mirrored by water tranquil below,Holding truths that deep down I know.Full and round and luminous,Presence confirming no need to rush.Gentle, quiet and gracefully calm,The morning moon, my worries’ balm.
