A Winter’s Wind

Leaves are turning—skipping stones across the pond face down to the earth. A singing robin improvises soul. Tweets from the trees since the first breath after birth. How hollow are the winds that blow those trees? And how high do they rest on top of those trees? Does that bird know the words to it’s [...]

A New Beginning with the Same Old Ending

A new beginning with the same old ending I sit in these chairs I sit, I stare No, it can’t be There must be more for me Than a corner with a book Than a stranger with the “look” My failing eyes try to disguise The disgust I see But the disgust is me I’ll [...]

Closet Full of Shoes

Laced interpretations of what I could be, Where I could and what I could see Spinning and twisting so feverishly Grazing my spirits– unraveling free I hope one day to stomp out my fears Make way for my dreams And keep my heart always near I’ll cross your deepened ocean so free Skip all those [...]

I Fell

When is this sorrow going to end? And when will my simple life begin? Trying to reach and come up for air Only to find that everthing’s bare Too much sorrow and frowns for a day Why can’t I just let myself go away? Begging for answers– can’t you see me cry? All along I [...]

Mine

If I could leave, I would If I could see you, I should Because my insides are shaking loose But I haven’t found a path to choose Do I stay and leave me heart? Or do I pray again that we’ll start A love so fresh and new Laced with memories of us so true [...]
