These Lonesome Lines Were Lying Around
We only accept change after its happened.We live amongst each other,keeping our space while still acknowledging we share the same air whether we like it or not.The less we knew, the less we continued to care.We cared until we moved on to other things. It happened gradually over a year or two.The obsessions we hadContinue reading “These Lonesome Lines Were Lying Around”
I Breathe In Patience
I breathe in patience,I breathe out worry.I inhale good emotions,I exhale useless ones.I hold onto the little I can control,I let go of the rest.
Ring of Fire in Winter

Christmas Lights Chilly Nights

Message From the Sea
Look out when you get the chanceUntil you can’t see me past the horizonOn sunny days in quiet seasonsI sit in my car by the sidewalkGlancing towards the infinite directionWaiting for time to passComing back to myselfLosing another moment to old habitsEach day is differentSome lessons have to be continually learnedMeeting myself with love, notContinue reading “Message From the Sea”
Outer Space
The full moon Guides me homeClear of cloudsShines so brightI follow itAlong the coastA beautiful night
