stream of closure

rambling thoughts and random words upon a page empty into the vast and vacant landscape of my life.  adrift in a dark sea of lessons learned, I cast my shadow far and wide reflecting upon the person I’ve become. conscious acts of normal lead me from the daylight and cast me out into the silent and waiting night. mighty but weak, I fumble deftly down the pathway of right only to find that wrong is raining yet once again. falling gently around me and gathering with the force of no reason, I ride until the tide takes me home again.

oh no…i’ve fallen in love

stumbling falling fumbling stalling

racing blushing chasing flushing

peeking glancing seeking chancing

beating fluttering heating stuttering

oh no…i’ve fallen in love.

Ode to a bear…

Just when I thought you were out of my life

I opened a box long sealed and covered in dust.

Green, furry, soft and wrapped in a bow

you are a reminder of a past I’ve struggled daily to forget.

Your eyes stare and secrets from long ago

try to sneak up into the light and back into my life.

But today you are just a bear.

Nothing more.

And I am stronger for it.

Heavy Heart and Mind

Maybe those Mayans weren’t so wrong after all. What has become of us? Time to take a step back and evaluate what is important in our lives. Time to take political agendas and hatred and finger pointing to the curb. Tonight my thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost family members. Is there a chance that the leaders of our country can come together to make a difference? I say it’s time to take a step back and contemplate what is REALLY important. Agenda or Allegiance?

No Trespassing

I toss and turn,

thoughts of you race

through my head.

You promised the world

but you lied and

broke my heart.

Now you trespass

in my dreams

and haunt me instead.
