poetry, prose, and photography
Often sleep damaged
When we try to cram our souls
Into other forms
Life is hard enough without trying to force ourselves into something we’re not. Finding a place of deep love and compassion for ourselves is a key step to everything peace and tranquility.
Autumn’s air quite cool
Clear nights bring frost to my car
And these nights are long
Grace in gratitude
The humbleness of our spirit
Thanksgiving’s healing
I hope each end every one of you felt blessed and loved today…and on all days.
Underneath the rain
The sky above beckons me
Freedom of the sky
My life’s been lived
At a right-angle
To reality
I’ve always valued originality over all else.
Some memories hurt
Not welcome to remember
So they haunt our dreams
Life challenges us
When we rise up and fight back
That is when we grow
Eternal movement
Hands sprinting on these dials
Relentless motion
Rage brings forth power
Everything comes with a cost
Not a path to peace
I sometimes wonder
If we should roll our clocks back
Into sundials
