The sun shines through the window in the corner of my eye. I blink and awake from a stupor of past and future meaninglessness. I am in and out, in and out. Present, future, present, past, future, present, past. A wind blows by and stirs up the warm smell of pine: present. A thought sailsContinue reading “3.30.15”

Divine Guidance
Today I pray you show me the way. You’re asking me to go so far, far away. I just arrived; I thought I was here to stay. But the voice continues to insist, it’s further this way. So I get quiet and sink down deep. I promise to not make a peep. And whenContinue reading “Divine Guidance”
A Dream
She sits on the stairs and looks at the door. This home is no longer her own. She feels the cool wood beneath her, firm and weathered by time and life. She has placed herself two steps from the landing. The height just right to accommodate his torso. She’s laid a sweater down on theContinue reading “A Dream”
Save Me
My knight in shining armor rides up. He steadies his stallion and scoops me up in his arms. The danger from which he removed me rapidly fades from my mind.

Peace and Sleep
The breeze, as it passes through the trees, is made audible by the yet fallen oak leaves. One of these leaves detaches, takes flight, catches on the wind, and then lands at my feet. I sit here above the creek with turmeric tea steaming in my face. My belly is full of veggies and IContinue reading “Peace and Sleep”
Prelude to Union
There is a world of seeking. It is equally simple, yet wrought with unfulfillment, This world is filled almost entirely of dreams. In this world, I am a shattered mirror with the sticky tape still holding its shape. Everywhere I search, I see myself again. I am confused. I can see beautiful prisms of rainbowContinue reading “Prelude to Union”
