In the days of summer, time slips intothe vast puddle of shallow memories.I sit in search of honesty, making senseof what I will never fully understand.Patiently, I listen and take in informationthat’s not mine, assessing the gravity ofsituations I only can lend empathy to.

boating season
Summer has settled in the airalong the shore I watch the boatsgo by on the coast’tis the season for observationI watch closely as the hazecomes then fades in the distanceof the day.
Dance
Patience is a delicate dance, one in whichthe steps are mapped out but only so far.One in which it can slip out of graspcausing damage to commence in its wake.Choosing peace and quiet to sitas I watch the dancers graspthe concept of changeas I try to understandmy own.
The Start of Summer
I walk down to grab a doughnut fromthe coffee shop, smell the flowers,admire the waves, embracing the summer,the new season lingers in the air.
Intuition
Drowning out the noise of the day,trying to exist without getting lostin the ocean of my own thoughts.I seek beauty, make stories in my head,dance out the darkness until itno longer enraptures my every step.I’m okay, I say, I’m okay.These are the days where I’m beginningto believe my own words.

Technicolor
I love how the pink flowers contrast perfectly with the deep blue cloudless morning sky. Appreciation of beauty takes a second of your day but can lighten your mood and remind you of some of the ways in which change can be lovely. It’s the small details that have the deepest impact.

Zoom into make senseof the beautiful place I’ve alwaysfelt safe but can now wander aroundas timelines between pastContinue reading “Perspective”
Secret Garden
Before the trees form leaves,bright daffodils sprout inthe most unexpected place.Off a ledge, forms a secret garden,by the river, may they bloom.This becomes a little sanctuary, surrounding of nature allowsfor the passing of daysto be blissful. For Aunt Liz.
